Hoezo in KINO

‘Tiny’ 14-year-old Arrietty lives under the floorboards of an old house with her father and mother. Their peaceful life is dramatically changed when the ever-curious Arrietty accidentally allows herself to be seen by Sho, a sickly but well-intentioned 12-year-old boy. The fledgling friendship between the two lonely children causes Haru the housekeeper to become aware of the borrower’s existence. The family is forced to choose between staying in their well-established home or leaving for the uncertainty of the great outdoors. Japanese language with English subtitles.
