A kid with a weird dream that shouldn't work, except it does because she means it completely. Tulip-chan isn't trying to save the world or prove anything to anyone, she just wants to live long enough to see her own grandchild grow up, and that small, ordinary goal carries more weight than most anime pile on in their finales. The quiet here isn't empty space; it's the sound of someone choosing to believe in a future that hasn't even started yet.

Tulip-chan is a fifth grader who is a little out of the ordinary: her dream is to have her grandchild there to celebrate her 60th birthday. The film is a single short animated work, made by Saki Watanabe as a graduation project at Tohoku University of Art and Design in 2024, and it centers on this young girl and her unusually far-reaching wish.
