This is a non-verbal AI short film about Tora and Kuro trying Nagashi Somen, a Japanese summer tradition also known as flowing noodles, for the very first time. On a quiet summer afternoon, Tora, the orange kitten, becomes fascinated by the noodles flowing down the bamboo slide. When the old man steps away for a moment, Tora decides to try catching the noodles all by himself. But the noodles keep slipping away… and somehow, Kuro always seems to be waiting at the perfect spot. A gentle and heartwarming AI cat short film filled with Japanese summer sounds, flowing water, wind chimes, cicadas, and two tiny kittens discovering the joy of summer noodles.
