Overview

Based on the beloved literary masterpiece by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren, “Children of Noisy Village” (Alla vi barn i Bullerbyn) comes to life in a heartwarming cinematic presentation. Set in the idyllic, remote settlement of Noisy Village—modeled after the picturesque Småland region of Sweden—the story is told through the innocent eyes of Liisa, the eldest daughter of the Middle House. With only three resident households (the North, Middle, and South Houses), the film captures the simple joys, summer adventures, and the deep-rooted sense of community shared by the local families and their children.

The 2026 screening tour in Japan, organized by the Yokohama Kinema Club, offers a nostalgic and cultural journey into the Swedish countryside. This production is celebrated for its authentic portrayal of rural traditions and the timeless magic of childhood play. Especially relevant for families during the Golden Week holidays, the event aims to bridge international cultures through storytelling, providing a gentle and engaging experience for both children and adults who appreciate classic literature and pastoral landscapes.
