Totto-Chan

Shinnosuke Yakuwa / JP, 2023 / 114 min.

The curious and very lively Totto-chan doesn’t fit the disciplinarian Japanese school system. Shinnosuke Yakuwa’s animation illustrates children’s lives in Japan during World War Two and conspicuously employs warm, luminous colours.

poster Totto-chan (Shinnosuke Yakuwa, JP 2023)
Totto-chan is a curious, very lively girl, full of energy. She is suspended from school due to her atypical behaviour. Her parents enter her at Tomoe Gakuen, a school that deviates from Japan’s disciplinarian school model and encourages children to discover their talents and have fun.
