Omschrijving

What if we could freely travel in time? How would we use that power: to solve world problems or for our own benefit? Mamoru Hosoda’s first feature film based on an original subject asks these questions when 17-year-old Makoto discovers that she can jump through time.  Satoko Okudera’s screenplay is loosely based on the popular 1967 novel with the same name, which was adapted for the screen several times but never as an anime before. A unique chance to see this early film by the director of Wolf Children, Mirai and Belle on the big screen.
