Synopsis

<em>The story follows a young boy named Yuta, who lost his father in a car accident a year ago. One day, all alone, he goes to catch a beetle at a dam deep in the mountains he used to visit with his father. On his journey he meets a strange old man and it starts raining. Yuta slips, falls off a bridge and passes out. When he wakes up he finds himself in a village that should be under water but he has travelled back 30 years in the past where he will discover and create precious memories linked to summer.</em>

the hole
lls off a bridge and passes out. When he wakes up he finds himself in a village that should be under water but he has travelled back 30 years in the past

is a wizard of oz get knocked out and it turns out to be a dream,
its like that episodes of family guy where stewy seemingly gets killed and it turns out to be a simulation. unless he did go back in time by passing out then that fine but if its a dream thats a cop out
 
Wouldnt useally be interested in something like this, but seeing its made by my mandem at Toei animation its caught my interest.
