A girl who sings magic into existence crashes into her own destiny—literally.
At a time when Orica is saddened over her inability to fulfill her role as a Lavateil, or one who can control magical powers through singing Hymns, Laina's airship comes crashing down upon her from the sky. Both of them search for an engineer to repair his airship, meeting Cruze. In the process, Laina inadvertently teaches Orica that the key to singing a successful Hymn is to want to help others from the bottom of one's heart.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This adapts the 2006 JRPG of the same name, notorious for its 'dive into Reyvateils' mechanic that was deeply weird about consent. The film wisely skips that entirely.
Ar Tonelico's Hymn language, Hymmnos, was constructed with actual grammatical rules—fans have translated entire songs. The film's climactic Hymn uses it.
