Composer Yuki Kajiura (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Sword Art Online) lends his talents for the soundtrack and Director Tomonori Sudo (the Garden of sinners -recalled out summer-) returns to the Fate series to craft the events of the visual novel into the complete cinematic experience.

About Fate/stay night [Heaven's Feel] THE MOVIE I. presage flower:
Rejoice, Fate fans! Your wish has come true!

Based on the record breaking visual novel “Fate/stay night,” the final route, a.k.a. Sakura Route, has been made into a 3-part theatrical feature, and now the first chapter comes to Blu-ray.

10 years after the Holy Grail War—a battle waged by Masters and Servants over the wish-granting container, the Holy Grail—another war breaks out in Fuyuki City.
Shirou Emiya—the adopted son of Kiritsugu Emiya, a participant of the previous Holy Grail War—is leading a peaceful life with people dear to him. Especially close to him is his underclassman Sakura Matou, who brings kindness into his otherwise lonely life.
But once the Holy Grail War starts, Shirou's peaceful life is sundered.
