The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes Collector’s Edition
Back during its theatrical release in cinemas, many of you fell in love with this Annecy award-winning adaptation of The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes, and now it’s finally time to relive all of the beauty and emotion of the film as we bring it to your home on DVD and Blu-ray!
“There is a phenomenon called the Urashima Tunnel, which exists outside the boundaries that constrain our reality. Unbound by such restrictions, it can achieve the otherwise impossible, journey wherever a mind can conceive, and bring the one thing that they most desire. But the cost of using the tunnel is staggering: a portion of one’s own existence. Yet… when Kaoru Tono discovers something matching the Tunnel’s description, he can’t help but think of the sister he lost five years ago. Can the tunnel really reunite them? And how is his school’s beautiful new transfer student involved?”
We’ve gone for something a little special with our outer packaging for this one, enclosing our usual rigid slipcase presentation in a special o-card sleeve with a cut-out element to fully recreate the film’s main key visual, as you can see below.
Within this you’ll find an Amaray case containing the film on DVD and Blu-ray, an exclusive art card, and a 28-page art booklet filled with character, prop and setting artwork, as well as a glimpse into how the film uses post-processing effects to give it such a striking look. If you’re a fan of the film, or of sci-fi tinted romance in the vein of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, then you won’t want to miss this one!

There’s a new technology on the street: masks as thin as paper that grant the wearer a special ability. One mask grants the ability to change your face, another sharpens your senses. But the abilities come at a steep cost: years off their users’ lives! Together with assistant attorney Sarah Sinclair, Blood must unearth the secrets behind the masks and their connection to LIVE’s mysterious founder.
