It is very interesting how many Japanese films (not only anime) represent in a much more realistic way how human relationships are.

In the summer of 1996, three middle-school students make a promise that they'll cross the border with a self-constructed plane and unravel the tower's secret, but their project was abandoned after the girl, Sayuri Sawatari, became mysteriously ill and transferred to Tokyo. A tall tower was built on Hokkaido, which could even be seen from Tokyo. Hokkaido is ruled by the 'Union' while Honshu and other southern islands are under US authority.
