A man makes a robot girl and tries to teach her the aspects of daily life. But what is his real goal? Hidamari no Shi is the fourth part of the five-part film Zoo, adapted from the first volume of Otsuichi's novels of the same name. It is the only part of the film made from animation; the other parts are live-action sequences.
