Dawid watches a new neighbour move to a house next door. The girl is wearing a Hawaiian hula skirt. Most probably, he also learns why Monika’s grandma has gone away to Hawaii. Most probably, he’s going to tell her that his sister is a cat now. For sure, the boy and the girl will be brought closer together by their strength in order to save their memories about the loved ones who departed this life. The mad Time Hopper will help them cross the gate in an old clock that leads to a place where time rules are completely different. The film is made in anime convention inspired by films by such creators as Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Hosoda and Makoto Shinkai. It’s a life-action film but uses a lot of elements that are characteristic of anime style like: different framing, staging, and working with time. “The Day of Chocolate” is a proposal of the art-house cinema directed to young audience.
