Makoto is a typical teenage girl who spends most of her days slacking off with friends. One day while rushing to meet her aunt, she nearly gets hit by a train, but at the last second, finds herself jumping backward in time to before the accident. She immediately makes use of her newfound ability to redo every minor inconvenience – from poor exam results to awkward confessions of love. However, when faced with the consequences of tampering with time, Makoto must do everything she can to avoid a dire future that can’t be reversed. THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME is a beloved early film from Mamoru Hosoda, the Academy Award-nominated director behind BELLE, WOLF CHILDREN, SUMMER WARS, and more. Hosoda weaves together the timeless, breathtaking visuals he is known for with a tender-hearted story of a girl navigating first love, time travel, and the perilous choices that come with both.
