     耳を澄ませば (Mimi wo sumaseba) is one of the movie i love the most from Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎駿)

Synopsis:

       Shizuku lives a simple life, dominated by her love for stories and writing. One day she notices that all the library books she has have been previously checked out by the same person: 'Seiji Amasawa'. Curious as to who he is, Shizuku meets a boy her age whom she finds infuriating, but discovers to her shock that he is her 'Prince of Books'. As she grows closer to him, she realises that he merely read all those books to bring himself closer to her. The boy Seiji aspires to be a violin maker in Italy, and it is his dreams that make Shizuku realise that she has no clear path for her life. Knowing that her strength lies in writing, she tests her talents by writing a story about Baron, a cat statuette belonging to Seiji's grandfather.

Screen shot:
 


     With a simple plotting but it bring meaningful message. The hero (Seiji) whose dream became a violin maker being reject by his father, still hold strong to his dream. Not just dream, but the courage to realize it.  Shizuku who acknowledge her inadequate after writing her 1st novel, the spirit of never give up within her, know that not just dream, but the effort counted.

The scene i like the most :
