Plot [edit]

Shizuku Tsukishima is a 14-year-erstwhile girl who attends Mukaihara Junior High School, where she is all-time friends with Yūko Harada. She lives in a Tokyo suburb with her parents Asako, Seiya and older sister Shiho, and is keen on reading books, particularly fairy tales. One summer evening, she looks through the checkout cards in her library books and discovers they were all checked out previously by someone named Seiji Amasawa.

Shizuku meets Yūko at the school and reveals "Concrete Roads," her "Take Me Home, Land Roads" parody written for the school graduation and criticizing the deforestation of Tama New Town. Yūko reveals that she has a crush on a boy named Sugimura, who happens to be Shizuku's friend. Yūko and Shizuku walk home when she realizes she left her book at the school. She runs dorsum to discover a boy reading her volume which he returns, simply non without teasing her and slighting her lyrics, which leaves her feeling irritable for the rest of the evening. On the adjacent day, while on her fashion to the library to evangelize her father'southward luncheon to him, Shizuku encounters a peculiar cat commuting on the railroad train, and follows it to discover an antique store run past Shirō Nishi. In the shop at that place is a cat statuette nicknamed The Baron every bit well as a centuries sometime antiquarian clock. Realizing she'south tardily for the library, Shizuku runs out feeling ecstatic well-nigh finding "a place where stories begin", only to see the boy she had met the previous day, who returns the lunchbox she left behind. He comments on how much food is in the box and rides away, singing her song, leaving Shizuku in another foul mood.

When school restarts, Yūko is devastated when Sugimura asks her to reply to a honey letter his teammate sent. Shizuku confronts Sugimura and scolds him for his actions, only for him to reveal he had a crush on her. However, she rejects him in order to not hurt Yūko. Shizuku leaves feeling leveled. Feeling disconsolate, Shizuku decides to head to the antiquarian store, meeting the boy once more. He shows her the workshop, where she discovers that he is learning to make violins to pursue his dream of becoming a master luthier. She begs him to play the violin for her, but he agrees on the status that she sings along. The pair perform "Have Me Home, Land Roads" as it was adapted by Shizuku for her graduation. The boy is revealed to exist Seiji, Nishi's grandson, and Shizuku and Seiji finally befriend each other.

Seiji admits that he admires Shizuku's talents, and reveals his dream to become a luthier, as well as his efforts of checking out a big number of books in the hopes that she would somewhen notice him. Days after, Seiji leaves for Cremona, Italy for a ii-month report with a primary violin-maker. Inspired by Seiji, Shizuku decides to pursue her skill for writing seriously in the same ii months. She asks Nishi if she can write a story featuring the Baron, to which Nishi grants his consent in substitution for being the first to read her story.

Shizuku concocts a fantasy story called "Whisper of the Heart", featuring herself as the protagonist, the Baron equally the male person hero looking for his lost dear, Louise, and the true cat from the train (a neighborhood stray who is, among other names, known as "Moon" and "Muta") as the adversary. Devoting her time to her writing, Shizuku stays up until early on in the morning, and her school grades driblet. She argues with Shiho over her grades and future, but their parents tell Shizuku to continue her dream but that the path will exist difficult. As she continues to push herself and Shiho tells her that she is moving out, her feet mounts.

When her story is consummate, Nishi reads it and gives his honest assessment, which is that Shizuku is talented, merely requires refinement through practice. Shizuku bursts into tears as the stress of the last 2 months turns into relief. Nishi consoles her and tells her the real-life story of the Businesswoman. When he studied in Germany in his youth, he found his offset dearest, a woman named Louise. Nishi discovered the twin statuettes of the Baron and his female companion in a cafe, only as the female one was abroad for repairs, the shopkeeper would merely allow Nishi to buy the Baron if Louise agreed to hold onto its companion so they could be reunited. Notwithstanding, the ii lovers and their true cat statues were separated during World War II, and could non detect each other after the war ended. Nishi so thank you Shizuku for bringing life to what used to be just a retention for him. In the original Japanese script, Shizuku never knew of the truth of the Baron's origin or of Louise, and Seiji before tells her that his grandfather refuses to speak of it. This makes Shizuku'southward inclusion of Louise in the story a tremendous coincidence, or something else. In the English dub, Seiji's dialogue is inverse and he briefly tells her most Louise.

Deciding she needs to acquire more about writing, and that she wants to attend high school, Shizuku announces to her mother that she will resume studying for her high school entrance exams. Shizuku wakes up early in the morning and sees Seiji outside on his bicycle, having returned a 24-hour interval before. In the English dub, Seiji tells Shizuku he decided to finish loftier school before returning to Cremona to become a luthier, differing from the Japanese dialogue, in which he says he will return to Cremona after heart school graduation every bit planned.

Seiji takes Shizuku on his bike to his hidden sentry, where they sentinel the sunrise. Seiji professes his love for Shizuku and proposes that they marry in the future; she happily accepts.

Shizuku'south "Take Me Domicile, State Roads" plays over the ending credits while daily life in her hometown is observed, including Yūko and Sugimura coming together up on the way home from school.
