What Chie the Brat is

Here's a film about a kid who's way more competent than her parents. Chie runs her ne'er-do-well father's tavern in Osaka while also visiting her long-departed mother. Her secret plan is to get her parents back together, ideally once her dad finds actual work. It's a kid's cartoon about the gig economy.
