Chibi Maruko-chan Movie: Italia kara Kita Shounen

Six students from overseas arrive in Shimizu for a homestay, bringing a burst of unfamiliar languages and cultures into Maruko's everyday life. Among them is Andrea, an Italian boy who quickly takes a special interest in Maruko, much to her annoyance and confusion.

As Maruko spends more time with Andrea, she learns that his visit is tied to a treasured memory of someone close to his family. What begins as an unwanted responsibility gradually becomes a warm journey through Shimizu, as Maruko tries to help her new friend find the connection he came all the way to Japan seeking.
