Project Story (Background of Production)

This project began in the summer of 2024 with a simple dream of Yuno Nagao, a child prodigy, to become a film director. Then, in February 2025, a group of volunteers who resonated with the passion of Yuno, who would take on the roles of director, screenwriter, editor, and lead actress, came together. Director Yuno herself boldly rewrote the original story, “Lita-no-Kokoro,” which was aimed at adults, into a fantasy story that she wanted to make "a story that would resonate with children." Her enthusiasm attracted the support of some of Japan's leading comedians and actors, resulting in a miraculous cast and a project that "turns dreams into reality."

Basic Information about the Work

Synopsis

On the distant planet Tellus, facing extinction due to Earth's environmental destruction, the inhabitants dispatch investigator **Nizaki (Kunisaki of Ranjatai)** to decide whether they should destroy Earth. If Earthlings are deemed "evil," an interplanetary missile will be launched. The target chosen is Lita (Yuno Nagao), a second-grader in Tokyo. By chance, Lita ends up wearing a "bracelet of destiny" that monitors the wearer's "altruistic heart." Every time she helps a friend or saves someone in need, data that will determine the fate of Earth is accumulated. However, the simulation reveals a cruel truth: the contradiction that "one act of kindness can steal someone else's future." Faced with the ultimate choice, what answer will Lita give? Her small act of courage will eventually trigger a great miracle that saves Earth, and even the sun.

Three Highlights of This Film

  1. The chemical reaction between "Yuno Nagao" and her "star-studded cast": The fresh sensibility of the director and lead actress in her first film, combined with the comical performances of Kunisaki (Ranjatai) and chocolate Planet, as well as the gravitas of seasoned actors such as Akiko Yada, Yuichi Kimura, and Mayo Kawasaki, creates a truly unique world.
  2. A theme that is easy for children to understand and deeply resonates with adults, depicting the nobility and difficulty of "acting for the sake of others" on a cosmic scale. It is a moralistic yet entertaining story.
  3. The overwhelming sense of speed and passion: The energy of the production, which was completed in an astonishingly short timeframe of just a few months from conception and approximately two weeks of filming, is conveyed to the audience through the screen.
