ABCCINEMAS

While relocating to their new home in another town, Chihiro and her parents come across a mysterious tunnel. They pass through it to find a vast grassy hill, and beyond, a shopping arcade of sorts. It is a world which humans were not meant to enter. Chihiro’s parents eat food left on a shop counter without permission, and are turned into pigs. Left alone, Chihiro is forced to obey two conditions in order to survive: she must work for the witch Yubaba, and have her name taken away, which severs her from the world of humans. She begins working at a bathhouse under the name Sen, where she is aided by Haku, Lin, Kamaji and others, while gradually regaining the strength to live on.
