“The two lived there.”

In "Howl's Moving Castle," Sophie, a young milliner cursed into an elderly woman, finds herself entangled with the enigmatic wizard Howl as he navigates his reluctant role in a kingdom's conflict. Hayao Miyazaki's animated epic layers fantasy with social commentary, using Howl's shifting allegiances and Sophie's resilience to explore the burdens of war and the power of personal transformation.
