In a long-ago war, humankind set off a devastating ecelogical distaster. Thriving industrial societies disappeared. The earth is slowly submerging beneath the expanding  Sea of Corruption, an enormous toxic forest that creates mutant insects and releases a miasma of poisonous spores in the air. At the periphery of the sea, tiny kingdoms are scattered on tiny parcels of land. Here lies the Valley of the Wind, a kingdom of barely 500 citizens; a nation given grafile protection from the decaying sea's poisons by the occean breezes; and home to Nausicaa. 

Nausicaa, a young princess, has an empathic bond with the giant Ohmu Insects and animals of every creed. She fights to create tolerance, understanding and patience among empires that are fighting over the world's remaining precious natural resources.

Academy Award winner Hayao Miyazaki has created an epic tale.
