About the film
From Nobuhiko Obayashi, director of HOUSE. Adapted from the Yasutaka Tsutsui novel that spawned the Mamoru Hosoda anime. Kazuko Yoshiyama (Tomoyo Harada) is a high-school student living in the city of Onomichi. One day, as she is tasked with cleaning the chemistry lab, she faints after a beaker containing a strange liquid falls to the ground and breaks. When her classmates Kazuo (Ryoichi Takayanagi) and Goro (Toshinori Omi) find her, they accompany her home, where she recuperates from the experiences of the day. However, she notices some strange occurrences in her surroundings, with some events seemingly repeating themselves or her having some notion of what could happen next.
