Plot

In the hidden nooks of Granny Driver's home, a secret world thrives, inhabited by the Clock family - Pod, Homily, and their spirited sixteen-year-old daughter Arietty. They are the 'Borrowers', miniature beings standing at just four inches high who sustain their existence by discreetly borrowing items from their unsuspecting human host. However, their covert lifestyle is jeopardized when their path collides with the ever-vigilant Granny, adamant on capturing these mysterious inhabitants. Arietty, driven by youthful defiance, ventures into the vastness of the house alone, a move deemed forbidden by her protective father. This daring exploration sparks an unexpected friendship with young James, who becomes her ally in this world of giants. But the threat intensifies when Granny calls upon the eccentric Professor Mildeye, a man consumed by his obsession with the elusive 'Homo Sapiens Redactus', and dreams of presenting the Borrowers as his latest scientific discovery. A perilous journey unfolds as Pod and Homily fall into the professor's clutches, leading Arietty to form a daring alliance with the resourceful Borrower Spiller and her human friend James. Their mission is critical: orchestrate a daring rescue to save her parents from the professor's dissection table, all while navigating a world that is a constant reminder of their diminutive stature.
