Will I one day be separated from my beloved town and cat?
Yon, a 8-year-old girl living in a condo, spends her days feeling uncertain and anxious about parting with her cat Kiku, and about keeping her confined in a small human home.
One day, Yon and her mother visit a house in the woods to view a potential new home. That house once belonged to an old man and a cat named Namari...
What does a comfortable home mean—for a family, for a cat, or even for a red mite?
Set in Nagoya, this animation traces childhood memories of growing up with a cat, and through a variety of materials, depicts the thoughts of living creatures as they continue their search for a place to call home. Award (1)
