An elderly inmate serving a life sentence awaits a lonely death in his solitary cell—until a voice calls out to him. It belongs to a balsam flower, Housenka, that speaks like a human. Through their "conversation", the old man begins to reflect on the life he's led.

Looking forward to seeing this again i was able to see it last year as part of Manchester Animation Festival and even was part of a Q&A Screening

You know I heard that the Anime Movie Shiori of the Labyrinth (aka Labyrinth 2026 film) premiered in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2025, in Glasgow as part of this film festival called Scotland Loves Anime. But I wonder if it's ever going to be released theatrically in the UK by the British anime distribution company Anime Limited? Because it's been scheduled for a North American theatrical release on May 10 and 11, 2026 thanks to GKIDS.
