A film about growing up and finding love. Taozi's father died unexpectedly at work, and the last dialogue between Taozi and his father was "you don't come back", which made Taozi very regretful. Among the relics left by her father, Peaches finds an unfinished letter written specifically to her.
After the death of the father, the mother sold the previous house and took the peach back to the place where she lived before, "Xishima". Peaches holds a piece of letter paper in her hand that says "To Peaches". It's my father's handwriting. She wondered what her father was going to tell her.
There were also three small things in the shape of water droplets who followed them to the island.
My mother sold her house in Tokyo and moved to this small island, which is very different from the big city. Peaches was a little afraid of this unfamiliar everything. She didn't even dare to speak.
The attic is very spacious. There are many old things piled up inside. A beautifully packaged box stands alone on the desk. Grandma praised her for her vision and asked her to open it. It was a pamphlet about youkai that my grandfather's father had collected.
On the second day after moving in, even before the room was cleaned up, my mother began to devote herself to a new life. In the small convenience store, they met Yang Tai and her sister who were also picking food. Mom tries hard to help Peach meet new friends, but Peach is clearly not ready to start over. Then, a strange figure followed his mother away by boat.
A person. In a huge old house. After eating and having nothing to do, she remembered the booklet that recorded monsters in the attic. She noticed some inexplicable noise in the room, and beads of sweat fell on her forehead. Immediately afterwards, the doorbell rang suddenly, and she was so frightened that she threw the book out and fell to the floor.
Send the guests away and look back. The door to the attic is closed. There were three empty pudding boxes scattered on the dining table. When she was observing the pudding box, she could faintly hear the voices of conversation from the attic.
At this time, other than running, what else can I do. But two huge shadows soon followed. It was a long, embarrassing run. run. Run away. I had to stop until I was out of breath.
Peaches did not dare to go home, and had been sitting in the port waiting for her mother to return home. But the little guy who came back with his mother did not forget to pour a basin of cold water on Peach's heart, stretched out his long watery tongue, and licked Peach's thigh. Frightened her into a trance.
Another day. After the mother left. Yota and her younger sister Haemi come to pick up Momo and go play together. Taozi was afraid that she would encounter monsters alone at home, so she went diving with Xiaoyang and the others. They jumped from the high bridge into the clear water one by one. She sat on the pier and looked down, and saw the five people playing and sparring in the water, having a lot of fun.
She was already afraid, but after saying "I'm sorry", she turned around and left. It was raining heavily, and not wanting to go home, she passed through the cemetery on the island and sat alone on the stairs of the dilapidated temple.
It was raining. Thunder rumbled. A bolt of lightning struck, allowing Momoko to see the monsters completely. As they tossed oranges in their mouths, they discussed wanting to eat meat. The smallest of the three monsters ran from a distance and sat on Peach's body.
They looked at each other. Moments later, Peaches threw it out and ran away screaming. Ah, I really admire her ability to run. After she left, there were only three dumbfounded monsters left. Oranges were scattered all over the place.
The interesting story starts from the moment they officially meet.
Taozi asked grandpa, what should I do if I meet a monster?
Grandpa said that if you are just afraid at this time, you will be killed, and if you have the courage to stare back, the monster will think that this guy has two strokes and will not appear.
At night, she practiced staring in the mirror, sleeping in the quilt and praying that they wouldn't show up tomorrow.
When I woke up the next day, my mother had left rice balls and a note and went to work in the fields. She is the only one left, fighting the monsters alone.
Three monsters. The big man with golden teeth is called Ayan. The guy wearing the green apron is A Chuan. The smallest one is called Adou. They each have their own characteristics, and Adou is always out of the picture.
No matter how they look, they are suspicious. The more "quibble" they are, the more they will cause Peaches to panic. So, there was a broom dance. Just then, the pass from the monster's pocket fell out. That's a deadly baby. Peaches grabbed it into his own hands.
Peach pretends to break the pass to threaten Ah Chuan who is watching TV. But Ah Chuan said, if we break it, we will die. Do you want to be a murderer? Just looking at Taozi with her mouth shriveled, she said aggrievedly, you are not human...
Since then, the monsters have swaggered in their homes. They became the most important playmates this summer. Adou's task is to accompany her mother to Imabari, and the remaining two are responsible for taking care of Momoko.
That day, Taozi put on her swimsuit and went to the bridge, and saw her friends jumping into the water one by one from a distance. She waited and watched for a while, then left angrily. She found a bank close to the water, and when she wanted to jump but didn't dare, Ayan gave her a strong slap from behind. After finally crawling to the shore, it was followed by another slap. On the embankment, A Yan was tall and mighty, like a professional coach.
When Peaches climbed ashore again, Ah Chuan sat on the side and kept throwing oranges into his mouth.
She shouted, didn't she say she should not steal. But Ah Chuan doesn't like to eat fish because it has scales. In order to help them find food without destroying the farmland, Taozi decided to take them up the mountain.
The way up the mountain is really thrilling. How can two monsters be honest. They rode the peasant's motor vehicle up the mountain, and finally got comfortable for a while. As soon as the laughter ended, they saw wild boars in the forest.
The two monsters took away the children of the wild boar with great interest, thinking that they could finally eat meat. But they have to withstand the aggressive pursuit of their parents.
In order to eat meat, they really took out their own housekeeping skills. Ayan runs fast. Ah Chuan can put a stinky fart. But here it is.
It was a very good chase scene, albeit a short one. There are some embarrassed.
The scenery on the viewing platform on the top of the mountain made Taozi feel the shock of his soul. She said, look at it. The two monsters were so hungry that they could not walk, lying on the ground and saying in unison, the scenery is not enough to fill their stomachs.
While Taozi and the monsters were having fun on the mountain, the mother knelt in front of the Buddhist altar, flipped through the old photo album, wept, and missed her husband. Hearing the voice of Taozi returning, she wiped away the tears and hid the sadness in her heart.
Late at night, my mother slept. Peaches quietly brought the cans in the refrigerator to the monsters in the attic to eat.
Back in the room, the mother talks to her in a dazed sleep.
She said, Dad likes the sea very much.
She said, Mom, I don't hate this island.
In her eyes, she looked forward to her mother's response. However, the mother, who had been tired all day, had already fallen asleep.
Every once in a while, the monsters report to the sky about the mother and daughter. Ayan said, this time, let Adou do the task. But how could Adou, who is always out of the situation, write. Accompanied by many little demons, it held a pen and stared at the letter for a while.
When Ayan saw the letter paper left by his father on the peach table, he thought that Adou had not finished writing, so he sneaked out to play. So, it brought the stationery and wrote a few words.
Peaches are healthy. Yuko is also healthy.
Send a letter to heaven and dance a strange dance. Peach was attracted by the huge vibration, and at the invitation of Adou, also participated.
on the way home. Taozi smiled when she saw her mother and childhood friend talking at the door. She stared blankly. She thought her mother had forgotten her father.
Typhoon day. Nowhere to go but stuck at home. The monsters went to "mutilate" the fields of the peasants and uncles in order to satisfy their hunger. He also took the mirror that his father gave to his mother. Taozi found out that he wanted to grab it later, but broke the mirror in the process of fighting with the monster. The mother who heard the sound looked at the things stolen by the monsters in one place, and after checking that Taozi was not injured, asked her what happened.
She said there were monsters, and monsters made them. But her mother couldn't see the monster, didn't believe what Taozi said, and thought she was lying to escape, Taozi still insisted that there was a monster, and her mother slapped Taozi in her emotions. He said, "Mom, even Dad forgot." Then he ran out of the house.
She met Xiaoyang at the seaside, and Xiaoyang told her that the festival was coming soon, when the fathers would carry rice boats into the sea, very beautiful. At that time, Taozi said, "I don't have a father."
Momoko ran to the shrine to cry in the rain. She tells the last story of herself and her father to the monsters.
They had a fight before their father died. On their first date, my parents went to a concert by the Vienna Boys' Choir. Taozi learned that the choir would also come on her parents' wedding anniversary this year, so she asked her mother to buy 3 tickets. They agreed to keep it a secret from their father. But on that day, my father said that he had a mission to go to sea. Peach was very angry, so she threw the ticket on the desk, and when she walked out the door, she said, "You don't have to come back."
She was annoyed. The sadness in her heart could not be resolved.
Only then did A Yan tell her the reason why the three monsters were with them. It turned out that the deceased humans will float on the ground for a while before flying to the sky. Therefore, during this time, the monsters are responsible for taking care of their mortal relatives and reporting to the sky. When Peach's father can watch over the mother and daughter with his own eyes, their mission is completed.
During the rainstorm, the mother suffered an asthma attack while searching for peaches. After learning the news of her mother's accident, Taozi returned home. She opened the cabinet and there was a picture book in it, which recorded everything that her mother and father once had. It turned out that her mother never forgot her father, she just hid her sadness and endured everything silently, because life must continue.
When Taozi learned that the only doctor on the island was out of the clinic and could not come back, Taozi decided to go to the outside of the island to find a doctor through the bridge that had just been completed. She didn't want the tragedy to happen to her mother, and she couldn't let her life live in guilt because of her momentary angry words. No, Momoko asks the monsters for help. But they also have their own rules, and there is nothing that can be done to break the pass. Eventually the brave messenger decides to take the risk of taking Peaches to the doctor.
After Peach left, the three demons were meeting in the attic. Ayan and Achuan said that even if they wanted to help, their ability was limited. Adou said, you can ask friends to help. Thus, there was an exciting moment when the group of demons gathered on that road to escort Taozi and Uncle.
In the end, Peach's mother turned the corner. And Taozi also grew up overnight. She began to take care of her sick mother. Because of this incident, the mother and daughter opened their hearts to each other. In addition, the monsters who completed the guardianship task are also leaving. Taozi asked them to bring the letter they wrote to the father in the sky. The kind-hearted monsters knew that this would violate the taboo, and finally agreed to Taozi's request.
When the three monsters completed their mission and returned to the sky, the long-broken wall clock suddenly moved and chimed the time. This bell may indicate that Peaches has let go of the guilt in his heart.
During the sacrificial ceremony, Taozi and her mother said what they said in their hearts and resolved their misunderstanding. What Taozi did not expect was that she actually received a letter from her father. This time, her mother chose to believe her daughter's words, and the letter only contained simple In one sentence, "you work hard, mother will ask you, I have been guarding you".
On the coast, they apologize to each other, and they can finally talk to each other. They set foot on this small island and took root. Peach can finally jump off the high bridge.
