Sophie's life is thrown into turmoil when she is literally swept off her feet by a handsome yet mysterious wizard named Howl. Subsequently transformed into a 90 year-old woman by the wicked Witch of the Waste, she embarks on an incredible odyssey to lift the curse, and find refuge in Howl's magical moving castle.
