A kitten waiting for parents who won't come home opens a present that's not what she needed. Komaneko doesn't fall apart over it. Instead she takes her friend and goes looking for them anyway, turning abandonment into a quiet kind of bravery. The movie knows that some Christmas stories aren't about family suddenly appearing, but about the kid who decides to show up for herself first.
A young kitten named Komaneko lives in a mountain home with her grandfather and loves making handicrafts. As Christmas draws near, she eagerly awaits a visit from her mother and father. A package shows up ahead of the holiday: a charming doll, along with a letter explaining that her parents will not be home for Christmas. Saddened but resolved, Komaneko heads out on a journey with her friend Rajiboo in this lighthearted fantasy comedy movie with a holiday setting.
