The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (12A)

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 backwards in time to before the accident. 

She immediately makes use of her newfound ability to re-do 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. 

A beloved early film from Mamoru Hosoda, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time sees the animator weave together his signature breathtaking visuals with a tender-hearted story of a girl navigating first love, time travel, and the perilous choices that come with both.
