A very funny, charming, bittersweet movie with a young girl whose parents both work and are always too busy. She deeply cherishes a memory from when she was 5 years old, because that was the last time they went out together as a family. Hiromi is 11 years old. She acts calm and mature (but in a well-written way, believable to her age!), but she’s really just a lonely kid. She spends her days with her (secretly talking) schnauzer dog and the comically lovesick maid, and has an (unrequited, as he’s too old for her and just sees her as a kid) crush on hertutor.
Junkers the dog has the power to grant just three wishes. Maybe.
The loneliness is pretty relatable as a former latchkey kid with no close friends who mostly spent time with cats and maids…

Absolutely beautiful, down-to-earth art and animation, even the body language is very realistic. Tender little film about growing pains.
