A young woman takes a job working as a concierge at department store that serves animals.
Episodic tale feels more like the manga that it is sourced from. It feels like three episodes of a TV show more than a feature film. The first is her first day of work, the second is her involvement in several stories of romance and the final is a number of Christmas stories.
This is a wildly uneven and very messy film that wanders all over the place. At times it feels like it is juggling way to much. There are so many idea in this film, from the basic tale of finding your place in the world to serious pondering of how humanity is destroying environment and killing off species. It was such a mess that I thought I was going to write a review trashing the film. However by the time the film ended the film had pulled it all together and I was getting misty.
What a joy. Sure it's messy, but it's a joy.
