Based on the bestselling picture book, animated film, and Japanese stage play "Poupelle of Chimney Town" by Akihiro Nishino

​

In Chimney Town, the sky is covered by thick, grey smoke and nobody bothers to look up. Nobody, that is, except for Lubicchi — a precocious boy who yearns to see the mythical “stars” from his father’s bedtime stories.

 

One Halloween night, Lubicchi encounters Poupelle, a monster made entirely of garbage. Together, they embark upon an epic adventure to find the stars.
