In the heavy, lethargic atmosphere of a summer classroom, rewinding time by a few seconds might seem so easy. Makoto, an ordinary 17-year-old high school student, uses this strange power to manipulate time solely to resolve minor daily hassles. Fixing exam grades or avoiding bike accidents feels like a fun game at first. But this animated, sci-fi-tinged film directed by Mamoru Hosoda whispers that every small step back into the past can create a huge void in the future. As time flows by, every move he makes begins to invisibly alter the lives of those around him.
