PLOT : In a war-torn kingdom, an unconfident young woman named Sophie is cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch. Seeking a way to break the spell, she finds refuge in the moving castle of the mysterious wizard Howl, a self-indulgent yet insecure young man with a reputation for avoiding responsibility. As Sophie navigates this magical world alongside Howl’s quirky companions, she discovers that things—and people—are not always what they seem. With the fate of the castle and those she cares about at stake, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, courage, and unexpected romance in a story that blends adventure, magic, and heart.
