Amon is a boy who can control the wind. Branich, the ruler of the world, wants Amon`s power to complete the ultimate weapon and sends his troops to capture the boy.

The Boy Who Saw the Wind is a gentle film, based on the novel by the Welsh-born cult author C.W. Nicol (who now lives in Japan). According to Nicol the novel is "a plea for good people to stand up and say `no` to fascism and dictatorship". His writings are also said to have inspired Hayao Miyazaki to set Laputa - Castle in the Sky in a Welsh mining village.
