High school student Taki, from Tokyo, and Mitsuha, from the country, find themselves body swapping at random times when they sleep. After a time of uncertainty and embarrassment, a greater mystery arises. High school romances are a bit young for my tastes, so I hope director Makoto Shinkai aims for something a bit more adult

Peculiar Dr. Ted Stevens (Kent Taylor) and bizarre government agent Bill Grant (Rodney Bell) discover a radiation burnt body on an unusual looking beach. Ted approaches oddball oceanographer Professor King (Michael Whalen) and his attractive daughter who’s the only one who seems human.
