Synopsis:
Set against the backdrop of a vibrant, modern Tokyo, the story follows Domo-kun, Charo, and a mysterious girl who has abruptly ceased contact with her family. A seemingly simple gesture – a wreath of Gerbera flowers – triggers an extraordinary event. The flowers unleash a wave of magic, manifesting as a whimsical train formed from blooms that journeys towards the girl's distant home.
The narrative unfolds amidst this fantastical setting, exploring themes of connection and displacement. As the flower train progresses, the characters face unforeseen challenges, symbolized by a powerful storm. This animated work was created to offer support and reflection for communities impacted by the 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake, suggesting an underlying message of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. The experience blends gentle fantasy with poignant undertones, inviting viewers to contemplate the power of shared moments and the enduring bonds of home.
