"A love story between an 18-year-old named Zofî, cursed by a witch into an old woman's body, and a magician named Hauru. Under the curse, Zofî sets out to seek her fortune, which takes her to Hauru's strange Moving Castle. In the castle, Zofî meets Hauru's fire demon, named Karushifâ. Seeing that she is under a curse, the demon makes a deal with Zofî--if she breaks the contract he is under with Hauru, then Karushifâ will lift the curse that Zofî is under, and she will return to her 18-year-old shape." -- from IMDb.com
