Living in rural Japan, Karin encounters the giant ghost cat Anzu and local forest spirits.


Abandoned by her father, 11-year-old Karin lives in a temple in rural Japan with her grandfather. Her grandfather assigns her a giant "ghost cat", Anzu, who is known for being famously lazy. Karin sabotages the strange jobs Anzu does for the townsfolk out of distrust for her new guardian, and makes friends with eccentric local forest spirits. In his efforts to win over Karin, Anzu accidentally makes a deal with a devil, and hell breaks loose. The film narrates how Karin and Anzu will extricate themselves from this complicated situation. The shooting was done in rural areas and temples of Japan.

The film offers an enjoyable experience for both children and adults. While the adventures of Karin and Anzu make you laugh, their character development and the relationship between them deeply affect the viewers. The story emphasizes the importance of friendship and family bonds, while also offering a fun and fantastic world.
