Synopsis:

In a world subtly interwoven with the unseen, tiny deities known as Cocotama reside within the homes of those who cherish their belongings. Born from concentrated emotion invested in everyday objects, these nascent gods are perpetually learning, guided by a unique magic and driven by a desire to assist their human companions. Their existence is characterized by quiet observation and clumsy attempts at helpfulness – guiding lost items or offering subtle aid, often with unintended consequences. The series explores the delicate balance between the mundane and the magical, portraying the charmingly chaotic lives of these miniature gods as they strive for godhood while navigating the complexities of human existence within the intimate spaces of domestic life. It offers a gentle, contemplative look at themes of care, connection, and the quiet power found in everyday moments.
