The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
A teenage girl (a tomboy actually)
accidentally acquires the ability to leap through time. She goes back a few
minutes, or hours, just by chance at first. Afraid to be dubbed crazy or mad,
she doesn't tell about it to anyone except her aunt who works in the museum at
restoring old paintings. But when she gets saved from a major train accident,
she understands the way to travel through time and uses it to her advantage.
She uses it to get back home early and eat her favorite pudding; to pass the
surprise Maths test with flying colors; to sing at the karaoke for hours
together with her friends; and to complete chores on time. Life is beautiful
for her. But misutilizing the ability and playing with time has its
consequences. Things do not turn out as she wants them to anymore, and she
realizes that she’s playing with the emotions of her friends. Trying to correct
the mess she has created, she gets to know that she has a limited number of
time travels left and that someone else, aside from herself, too has the
ability to take time leaps. But who is it?
The mystery is good and the entwining of
the subplots is interesting. The drab and boring high school routine life could
become so engaging if this were true!! Again making the audience live through a
childhood fantasy, with enough food for thought and sentiments.
