Description

A weekend of animated films that will blow your mind! Animation is returning to the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema to cure your frozen February blues. This year we have some new things in store including the Canadian premieres of Away, Another Day Of Life and the award winning kids series The Bravest Knight.


After losing her parents in a car accident, Okko goes to live in the countryside with her grandmother, who runs a traditional Japanese inn built on top of an ancient spring said to have healing waters. While she goes about her chores and prepares to become the inn’s next caretaker, Okko discovers there are spirits who live there that only she can see – not scary ones, but welcoming ghosts who keep her company, play games and help her navigate her new environment. The inn’s motto is that it welcomes all and will reject none, and this is soon put to the test as a string of new guests challenge Okko’s ability to be a gracious host. But ultimately Okko discovers that dedicating herself to others becomes the key to taking care of herself.
