14-year-old Arrietty and the rest of the Clock family live in peaceful anonymity as they make their own home from items that they borrow from the house's human inhabitants. However, life changes for the Clocks when a human boy discovers Arrietty.

Continuity:
Haru locks Shô's bedroom door while Shô is inside. Arietty enters through the window. Shô finds out the door is locked, so he escapes with Arietty out the window and re-enters the house via the adjacent room's window. Shô later returns to his bedroom (plausibly again via the other room) but he hasn't been seen taking any keys nor did he appear to have had the opportunity to take the keys, so the door should still be locked. When Haru and Sadako later go to the bedroom, they open the door without having to unlock it.
