Synopsis
A live-action film adaptation of a comic about the bizarre fate of two women who travel back in time to 1981 with their memories intact. The film fantastically depicts the tragedies and joys of women who repeatedly experience various turning points in their lives as they start over three times. In addition to being MORITA's first foray into science fiction, the film also attracted attention for its use of VFX, which was still in its infancy at the time.
