In 17th-century China, a new Emperor assumes the throne and a contest is held in order to find a suitable girl to become his Empress. A young peasant girl named Ginga hears about it, promptly decides to enter (hey, three meals a day and a nap!), and heads to the palace. We follow Ginga as she adjusts to palace life and goes through her tasks as she is judged on her suitability for becoming the next Empress. She also becomes friendly with a young man that she meets there. Times are changing, however, and the winds of revolution are blowing. The story is based on an award-winning children's book. |

Watashi no ashinaga Ojisan |
Living in an orphanage in the United States during the 1920’s, Judy Abbott does her best to manage the younger kids and help out, but things always seem to get out of hand. As punishment for one of her playful pranks, she has to write a ‘reflective essay’ on her misdeed - which she does, but with a lot of creative wit and sarcasm. Her essay is read by a member of the board for the orphanage, who decides to anonymously sponsor her tuition for a upper-class private all-girls boarding high school, but with the condition that she writes a monthly letter telling him of her new life. Not knowing the name of her benefactor, Judy gives him the nickname of 'Daddy Long Legs' and tells of her new life with her friends at high school. |
