Liz's lonely days finally come to an end when she encounters a blue bird that takes on the form of a young, hopeful girl in the quiet town. Even as their bond flourishes, Liz must confront a heartbreaking choice that will allow her to fully recognize and embrace her love for the Blue Bird with a sense of wonder. The senior high‑schoolers Mizore Yoroizuka and Nozomi Kasaki are assigned the principal parts of the third movement in Liz and the Blue Bird, a concert band composition inspired by this timeless fable that resonates across generations. Mizore, who is shy and reserved, plays the oboe to embody Liz's gentle, kind, and compassionate nature with a quiet confidence. Nozomi, the bright and popular one, handles the flute to portray the lively, spirited, and charismatic Blue Bird in the spotlight. Yet during rehearsals, the gulf between Mizore and Nozomi widens as they practice, creating a noticeable tension that threatens their performance. Their uneven duet disappoints the ensemble, and with graduation looming, doubts about what lies ahead stir complex feelings of uncertainty, hope, and a longing for success. With limited time before the show, they scramble to connect with their characters and find a way to harmonize their individual voices in order to prove themselves. But when Mizore and Nozomi reinterpret the tale from a fresh angle, can they summon the courage to confront harsh truths, accept their own growth, and overcome obstacles? A spin‑off film of the Hibike Euphonium! series, Liz to Aoi Tori weaves together a fairy tale, an musical score, and the bond of high‑school friends into a cinematic experience that captures the essence of friendship.
