The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Makoto Konno is an ordinary 17-year-old high school student who can’t decide what to do with her life. More than anything, she wishes summer would never end so she could keep hanging out with her friends. But one summer day holds a very special surprise for her: she suddenly gains the ability to leap back and forth through time. She uses her newfound power to undo every little inconvenience—from bad test scores to embarrassing love confessions. Yet with each leap, her world begins to fall further and further out of balance…

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Das Mädchen, das durch die Zeit sprang) is an absolute classic and one of Mamoru Hosoda’s most beloved films. It weaves together timeless, breathtaking imagery with a heartwarming story about a girl learning to navigate first love, the passage of time, and the consequences of her choices.
