Die Katze, die von Büchern träumte

Grandfather always said, "Books possess a special power. When you read them, you will always have a friend by your side."

A small bookstore in Japan, tall wooden shelves filled with rare first editions, a cup of tea prepared according to traditional ceremony: this is the realm of Rintaro and his grandfather. When the old man passes away, the quiet student is left to fend for himself. What should he do with the store that has long ceased to be profitable? What about himself, his life without his grandfather and his calmness and wisdom? Rintaro hides from the world, retreating among the almost forgotten treasures of books. Even his classmate Sayo, who is worried about him, cannot coax him out of his shell. Until one day, a cat appears in the bookstore - a talking cat that urgently asks Rintaro for help: the books are in danger - and only a true book lover like him, who has internalized his grandfather's love for the printed word, can save them. A magical homage to the power of literature and imagination - for all who have loved "The Little Prince" and "Momo," and for whom books are simply the most beautiful thing in the world. "This charming gem from Japan will capture the heart of every book lover.".
