00:10world of the borrowers.
00:12These tiny people live in secret, borrowing small, though unnoticeable items to survive.
00:18Among them is Arrietty, a 14-year-old borrower with an adventurous spirit.
00:22Her family has lived hidden for years, knowing that their survival depends on staying undetected
00:26by humans.
00:27But Arrietty is eager to explore beyond the confines of her tiny home.

00:39Guided by her father, Pod, she ventures into the human house to gather supplies.
00:44The world seen through her eyes is immense, where everyday objects like sugar cubes and
00:48tissues are enormous and require careful planning to retrieve.
00:51Everything seems to be going smoothly, but in a moment of tension, Arrietty realizes
00:55that she has been spotted by Sho.
00:57A boy who has just moved into the house.
01:00This seemingly innocent moment shatters the delicate balance between the human and borrower
01:04worlds, and Arrietty's life is about to change forever.
01:08Despite the borrower's strict rule to avoid humans at all costs, Sho's gentle nature piques
01:12Arrietty's curiosity.
01:13Sho, a boy struggling with a heart condition, is kind, quiet, and lonely.
01:17He has seen Arrietty, but instead of being scared or hostile, he wants to understand
01:22her world.
01:24The two of them form an unlikely bond, speaking through brief but meaningful conversations.
01:28For Arrietty, Sho represents something new and intriguing a human to human who is not
01:32the enemy.

01:41Haru, the housekeeper, grows suspicious of strange happenings in the house.
01:45Small things go missing, and she believes that something or someone is living secretly
01:49in the walls.
01:51Haru's growing obsession with discovering the borrowers creates a real threat for Arrietty
01:54and her family.
01:56Her persistence introduces a growing tension, as Haru represents the fear and danger of
02:00being caught.

02:06to leave their home behind.
02:08Arrietty is torn between two worlds, the safety of her family's secret life and the draw of
02:12the outside world, represented by her friendship with Sho.

02:19connection is undeniable.
02:21Through their conversations, Arrietty learns that Sho is dealing with his own struggles
02:26in upcoming heart surgery that leaves his future uncertain.
02:29This shared vulnerability deepens their bond, showing that despite the vast difference in
02:33their sizes, they both face fears that are beyond their control.
02:37Just as the bond between Arrietty and Sho grows, disaster strikes.
02:41Haru manages to capture Arrietty's mother, Homily, and locks her away in a jar.
02:46This moment is filled with suspense as the family faces the very danger they have feared
02:49for so long exposure.
02:50In an act of bravery and friendship, Sho helps Arrietty free her mother and escape from Haru's
02:55clutches.
