Toshiro Uratani

Una muñeca hinchable de tamaño natural vive en un modesto piso de Tokio. Es la única compañía de su solitario amo, un hombre de mediana edad. Él le habla, la baña y le hace el amor cada día cuando vuelve del trabajo. Sin embargo, esta rutina se rompe cuando, de repente, la Muñeca Hinchable cobra vida y con ella un alma. Acaba de nacer y no entiende lo que ocurre a su alrededor, aunque se da cuenta de que existe otro mundo más allá de las paredes del piso. Cuando, por fin, se atreve a salir al mundo exterior, se siente fascinada por todo lo que ve. Conoce a mucha gente, pero nadie es capaz de explicarle qué significa "estar viva". Un día, entra en un videoclub y conoce a Junichi, el vendedor, del que se enamora inmediatamente...

Yasuo Ōtsuka was the mentor of Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, the man who taught them to feel the joy of animation. As the supervising animator of their films and through the creation of superb scenes such as Lupin leaping from turret to turret in Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro, Ōtsuka made the impossible believable, and touched people’s emotions. To look back at the many works he was involved in is to review the history of Japanese animation after WWII. This film is a must for anime fans who want to learn how Japanese animation evolved.
