Premise
In 2020, Japanese high school student Barefoot and her friends decide to make an old-fashioned samurai film called Samurai Spring, instead of the teen romance film that they are supposed to be working on with the film club. During filming, one of the group is revealed to be a time traveler, who is a fan of her future films.[3]
