Synopsis
In folk tales, foxes are commonly portrayed as sly and mischievous beings that trick people. But what if it is humans who project those qualities onto foxes and regard them with distrust? One winter day, Shirou and his younger sister Kanko go out to play in the fields and encounter a fox cub named Konzaburou. Though they are initially wary because of foxes’ reputation as tricksters, the siblings grow friendly with Konzaburou and consent to accompany him to the nighttime fox performance taking place in the forest. The children are about to have a remarkable experience that might change the way they see these animals. This short film is based on a story by Japanese writer Miyazawa Kenji.
