Way back in 2003-4 my girlfriend at the time was watching an anime with her
family.

The things I remember about it are that it kind of gave me a Titanic vibe with
the lady re-telling her life story. However, when she told her stories, it
transported the film crew (metaphorically?) into the past to record her life
story.

I'd love to watch this film again, this time with my wife.

director Satoshi Kon.
