Spurred by a cryptic entity known only as The End of the World, a coterie of maladjusted high school students vie in secret duels for the magical power to revolutionize the world. Utena Tenjou didn’t mean to get involved, but her devotion to princely ideals draws her into a labyrinth of disturbing mysteries as she and her classmates are initiated in the painful truths of growing up. Inspired by fairy tales and the works of Herman Hesse and Kenji Miyazawa, Revolutionary Girl Utena is a surreal, symbolistic and psychological coming-of-age drama with bold artistic flair.
