Funimation describes the film:

The award-winning story of IN THIS CORNER OF THE WORLD follows a young lady named Suzu Urano, who in 1944 moves to the small town of Kure in Hiroshima to live with her husband's family. Suzu's life is thrown into chaos when her town is bombed during World War II. Her perseverance and courage underpin this heart-warming and inspirational tale of the everyday challenges faced by the Japanese in the midst of a violent, war-torn country. This beautiful yet poignant tale shows that even in the face of adversity and loss, people can come together and rebuild their lives.

In addition to Japan, the film will screen in 23 countries and territories. The anime opened in the United Kingdom on June 28. The film also screened at Anime Expo, and Katabuchi attended the screening. The film also recently screened at the Japan Cuts Film Festival in New York on July 23.
