The Borrower Arrietty (Japan, 2010)

The film tells the story of Arrietty, a young Borrower who lives under the floorboards of a typical household. She eventually befriends Sho, a human boy with a heart condition since birth who is living with his great aunt Sadako. When Sadako's maid Haru becomes suspicious of the floorboard's disturbance, Arrietty and her family must escape detection, even if it means leaving their beloved home.

When it comes to making anime that speaks straight to the heart, Studio Ghibli remains as the undefeated masters. Arrietty is a beautiful tale that explores the world going on beneath our floorboards. Essential for any fan of anime, young and old. 


Genre: Adventure/Drama
