कहानी

In the quiet suburban neighborhood of 1950s Tokyo, the Clock family - Pod, Homily, and 14-year-old Arrietty - reside in a hidden world, beneath the floorboards of a grand old house. For years, they have been secretly 'borrowing' small items from the human inhabitants of the house, a practice that has become a delicate art form. The Clocks' resourcefulness and seamanship have allowed them to create an intricately beautiful home, complete with a door constructed from a clock face and furnishings crafted from dollhouse furniture. The family's carefree existence is anchored by the parents, Pod and Homily. Pod, a skilled borrower, takes great pride in his work, carefully selecting the items he brings back to their home. Homily, a doting mother, lovingly tends to their home, making sure every item has its place. Arrietty, a restless teenager, yearns for independence and longs to prove herself as a borrower. Her desires often lead her to venture into the open, exposing her to the dangers of the human world. One day, a 12-year-old boy named Sho moves into the house above, and his presence changes everything. Sho is a young boy recovering from a heart condition, and as he spends his days observing the house, he becomes fascinated by the "little people" he has heard whispers about from the family's maid, Haru. One fateful evening, Sho spots Arrietty in the garden, taking a pin dropped by her father. As Sho becomes increasingly knowledgeable about the Clock family, Arrietty starts to walk a fine line between maintaining her own curiosity about Sho and respecting the safety of her family's hidden world. Meanwhile, the family's relationship with Sho becomes ambiguous; while they fear for their safety, they also sympathize with his loneliness and desire for companionship. The complexities that arise from Arrietty and Sho's bond expose the delicate balance of power in the world of the "little people" and the "human giants." With the once-peaceful coexistence now threatened, the Clock family must assess their fragile existence and consider the consequences of their actions. Ultimately, their decision will reveal whether the bond between Arrietty and Sho can coexist with the greater understanding of the interconnectedness between the "little people" and the human world, and in doing so, perhaps shed a new light on what it means to be seen and appreciated by those around us, regardless of our size or stature.
