Sofi, a young girl stuck in the family hat making business is cursed by a witch: she turned into a 90 year old version of herself. Sofi climbs onto the wizard Howl’s moving castle and works in his kitchen while trying to find a way to break the curse. The castle is inhabited by a bunch of fascinating characters and Howl, while a great wizard, turns out to be something of a teenage drama queen. The witch has an evil scheme going and an army of dark slippery creatures to carry it out. It is anything but a smooth ride in the castle for Sofi, Howl and a bunch of others when they try to find the witch and break the curse.
