Set at the time of World War II, this animated movie is about the fates of two orphaned children who become casualties of war. I recommend you to watch it, if you haven't already. It is so moving, so beautiful, so sad, made me cry buckets..

The Borrower Arietty

Sender: Hi-ro

I was over the moon to receive this Studio Ghibli card as I am such a fan of their movies! This is Arietty from "The Borrower Arietty" or "The Secret World of Arietty". I saw this movie last year.

Arietty is a tiny 14 year old (little people) and she lives with her parents in secret, hidden from the view of the human homeowners. They borrow simple things from the house they stay in to make their home. Do go and watch the movie! I found it beautiful and meaningful.

Hi-ro writes that Studio Ghibli works are very popular in her country. Well, Hi-ro, I think they are internationally renowned!
