Synopsis:

In a quiet seaside town, a curious goldfish named Ponyo embarks on an unexpected journey, finding refuge with a young boy named Sousuke and his mother. This idyllic existence is disrupted by Ponyo's hidden heritage: she is the daughter of a sea sorcerer seeking to reclaim her humanity. Her desire for a life on land unleashes unforeseen consequences, disrupting the natural order and threatening catastrophic environmental changes.

The story follows the evolving bond between Ponyo and Sousuke as they navigate the implications of her transformation. To restore balance and secure Ponyo's future as a human, they must undertake a perilous trial rooted in ancient lore. Blending elements of coming-of-age narrative with fantastical themes, the anime explores ideas of belonging, sacrifice, and the delicate relationship between humanity and the natural world.
