Arrietty - The wondrous world of borrowers ( Japanese 借 り ぐ ら し の ア リ エ ッ テ ィ , Karigurashi no Arietti , translated as: Arietti, the borrower ) is an anime film by Studio Ghibli , which was first shown in 2010. The film is based on the fantastic story The Borger by Mary Norton from 1952.
action
The film is set in 2010 in Koganei, west of Tokyo. The twelve-year-old Shō with heart disease moves into the house where his mother lived when she was a child. However, it is not his parents who move in with him, only the housekeeper Haru; his aunt often comes to visit him. The girl Arrietty and her family, the "Borger", also live in the house. These are about 10 cm tall beings who live from what they “borrow” from humans. In doing so, they only take things that are not noticeable to be missing and hide from people.
On the day of her first Borg mission with her father Pod, however, Arrietty is seen by Shō in the garden. Nevertheless, they go into the house at night to borrow, get hold of a lump of sugar and a pin that Arrietty uses as a sword from then on. Pod shows her a lavishly furnished doll's house that is just the right size for the borrowers, but they couldn't use it without being discovered. Then Arrietty is discovered again by Shō, who is awake in bed, and she escapes with her father. The two of them return to Mother Homily empty-handed and sad. The next day Shō places the lump of sugar that Arrietty had lost the night before in front of the basement window with a message. But the borrowers do not accept the sugar, otherwise they would be discovered.
But Arrietty decides to give Shō the piece of sugar back and goes to the window of Shō's room. There she throws it through the window and tells the boy to leave her and her family in peace. But Shō can engage Arrietty in a conversation, and when she is suddenly attacked by a raven, she is almost discovered by the rushing Haru and flees. Haru soon becomes suspicious of the existence of borrowers. She sees the borrowers as thieves and wants to drive them out of the house.
Meanwhile, the borrowers are visited by a traveling borrower, Spiller. He tells them that there are others of their kind, but only a few. Since they have been discovered, the borrowers are considering leaving the house. Shō wants to help them and builds the kitchen from the doll's house into the borrower's apartment. But this makes them even more insecure, and Haru discovers the apartment. She puts Homily in a jar to prove the existence of the borrowers and calls the exterminators to evict all borrowers from the house.
When Shō and Arrietty talk in the meadow about the possibly dying Borger, they notice Haru's activities and can free Arrietty's mother together again. Shō then hides the borrower's apartment, which is built into a wooden box. When the exterminators arrive, there are no more borrowers to be found in the house, and the kitchen is back in its place in the doll's house. Haru makes a fool of himself in front of the exterminators, but Shō's aunt recognizes from the tea made in the kitchen that the borrowers actually exist. She doesn't see anything bad in them, however. The borrowers nevertheless decide to leave the house and move away with Spiller. Shō manages to say goodbye to Arrietty.
