In his 40-year career, Obayashi Nobuhiko has proven to be one of the few filmmakers able to adeptly tackle a variety of genres. From cult horrors like his debut feature House and Drifting Classroom to acclaimed dramas (Prime of a Woman) to crowd-pleasing youth flicks (Exchange Students), Obayashi is a mainstream director who has never forgotten his experimental roots. His films often take on a theme of chasing memories, as in his 1983 work Girl of Time, a.k.a. The Little Girl Who Conquered Time. Adapted from Tsutsui Yasutaka's 1967 sci-fi novel Toki wo Kakeru Shojo, which also served as the inspiration for an award-winning animated film in 2006, the story follows the bittersweet adventures of a young girl who can travel through time. The film was a great box office hit at the time, and won lead Harada Tomoyo newcomer awards at the Blue Ribbon and Japan Academy Awards.

After inhaling some strange lavender smoke in the school laboratory, 16-year-old Kazuko's (Harada Tomoyo) life takes a strange turn: her days keep repeating themselves. She eventually realizes that she has acquired the ability to leap through time, allowing her to experience the future before it happens. In the midst of these surreal events, Kazuko falls in love with her classmate Kazuo (Ryoichi Takayangai), as memories of their time together keep running through her mind. But it turns out he isn't who he seems to be.
