In Chimney Town, the air is perpetually dark grey as countless chimneys constantly spew smoke. The residents have long abandoned any hope that anything could exist other than this dreary blanket of ash. Except for Bruno the tailor, who always tells stories of a sky full of stars - until he suddenly disappeared. Bruno`s son, Lubicchi works as a chimney sweeper. The boy is lonely until he meets Poupelle, a benign monster made of garbage. This film is an animated film based on a popular children`s book by Akihiro Nishino - one of Japan`s most famous comedians - who had always wanted to see an anime version of his book. He wrote the screenplay and produced the film himself. This stunning, colourful animation is reminiscent of a mobile phone game and has moments that look like highly detailed paintings. This, in combination with the tender, exciting storyline, makes the film an anime delight for all ages.
