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

​

In grimy Chimney Town, with its sky obscured by thick, grey smoke, nobody bothers to look up anymore. Nobody, that is, except for Lubicchi – a dreamy-eyed young boy who yearns to see the stars he's only heard about in stories told to him by his father. One night, a chance encounter with Poupelle – a monster made entirely of garbage – sparks an epic adventure as this unlikely duo sets off to find clarity in a world too often obscured.
