The Door into Summer

2021 Toho Romance Sci Fi Drama Mystery Netflix

Takeshi Sorekara is a young robotics engineer in 1995 Tokyo on the verge of a breakthrough — until his business partner and fiancée betray him and steal his work, leaving him with nothing. He discovers a cryogenic chamber and wakes up 30 years later, in 2025. But time travel in this film works both ways, and Takeshi has someone to get back to. A time-travel romance adapted from Robert Heinlein's beloved 1956 novel, reimagined in Japan with a warmth that makes the impossible feel entirely real.
