Estonian premiere
Ghost Cat Anzu
A mystical world, a strange friend and unexpected choices.
Karin, 11 years old, is abandoned by her father at her grandfather’s house, the monk of a small town in the Japanese countryside. Her grandfather asks Anzu, his jovial and helpful although rather capricious ghost cat, to look after her. The meeting of their strong characters causes sparks, at least in the beginning.
Recommended age 12+
