Event details

Satsuki and her younger sister Mei move to a house in the country with their father to be closer to their ailing mother, who they visit in hospital. They spend most of their spare time playing and exploring their new home and the surrounding forest. A few things about the house begin to strike them as strange, including the discovery of soot sprites and acorns that appear to fall from the living room ceiling. One day, Mei follows a strange rabbit-like creature through a hole in a tree and discovers the large forest spirit Totoro. When the girls receive worrying news about their mother, it’s up to Totoro and his friends to lend a hand.
