On the home page of the movie’s website, Hosoda left a message for viewers about the story of the movie, saying:

One house and one garden. I would like to draw out a huge loop that is made up of a large circulation of life and human life through only one family that
is everywhere . I want to talk about the biggest theme using the smallest motif . I would like to open up new expressions for new family members using entertainment methods . It seems calmly at first sight, in fact, it has a great ambition.
