A single wish, taken literally by the sky itself, sets "Wish" in motion — a musical fable about a girl who asks for more than she expects to get.

What is Wish about?

Asha lives on the kingdom of Rosas, where the ruler collects the wishes of his subjects and promises to grant them someday. Frustrated by how little control anyone else seems to have over their own hopes, Asha makes a wish on a star out of pure impulse — and gets an answer no one saw coming when a small, mischievous ball of starlight drops out of the night sky to join her. What follows sends Asha and her new companion across Rosas, questioning the bargain every citizen has quietly accepted and testing what it actually means to hold onto a wish rather than hand it over to someone else to keep. Built around musical numbers and a hand-drawn visual style that nods to classic animated fairy tales, the film treats its fantasy kingdom as a place where a young woman's stubborn optimism collides with a system built to keep wishes exactly where they are.
