Sophie is a young woman quietly running her family's hat making business after the death of her father. Her sister has opened a bakery and her mother is not around at this time for some vague reason. On her way to visit her sister's new shop she runs into some strange creatures on the street and is rescued by a handsome and mysterious wizard named Howl. After Howl sees Sophie safely returned home she receives a visit from the scary Witch of the Waste who puts a spell on Sophie turning her into an old woman. The spell also doesn't allow her to tell anyone what has happened.
Since she can't stay around the shop where no one will know who she is in her present state, she takes off to find Howl and discovers his magnificant flying castle and begins an adventure of her own. Sophie is a strong female role model who perseveres in the face of adversity while dealing with some pretty strange events. In the end who saves who? pazt
