## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A misplaced waif wanders into Depression-era Tokyo, fresh off the train and into the custody of a bar owner pressured by a soft-hearted single dad. Three lives shuffle into closer quarters, but no one seems to notice the heavier air settling overhead. A charm that can’t decide between kidding and clawing its way out.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, tender
