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

<p>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. </p>

<p>I'd love to watch this film again, this time with my wife. </p>
