Studio Ghibli has released the official teaser trailer for Hayao Miyazaki‘s final film, The Boy and the Heron, as it prepares to make its North America premiere later this year.

Set during World War II, the film is described as “a semi-autobiographical fantasy about life, death, and creation, in tribute to friendship” and follows the story of Mahito, a young boy attempting to come to terms with the death of his mother. After relocating with his father, he discovers a world “shared by the living and the dead,” where “death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning.”

The movie is Miyazaki’s first feature in 10 years and marks his last ever film. It previously premiered in Japan and will make its premiere in the West at the Toronto International Film Festival before making its worldwide premiere on December 8.

Elsewhere in entertainment, the live-action One Piece adaptation broke a Netflix record previously set by its biggest TV shows.
