Young Sophie Hatter is cursed by the Witch of the Waste, and turns
into an old hag. Ashamed of how she looks, she flees into the hills
where a moving castle roams the hills. It is said to belong to the
young and handsome wizard Howl, who has a bad reputation. Within the
castle, Sophie befriends the fire demon Calcifer, who promises to
help her become young again. One catch: she must help Calcifer to be
free of Howl, and Calcifer cannot tell her how. However, Sophie
agrees to stay and try to find out about the contract through other
ways. Still, Howl can see that Sophie is under a spell like Calcifer
can, and he falls in love with her for who she is and not for what
she looks like. Sophie manages to bring life to the moving castle,
and she helps Howl to face his former tutor, Madam Suliman.
