A young girl who loves reading encounters a boy with a dream of becoming a violin craftsman, led to him by a curious cat. The boy plans to go to Italy after graduation to pursue his dream, but the girl feels lost, unsure of her own future. Will she find her path in life? And will these two, soon to be separated, ever meet again? This touching piece by Hayao Miyazaki and Yoshifumi Kondo beautifully captures the ordinary yet precious emotions between people.
