📖 Synopsis
Chihiro is ten years old and on her way to her new home when her parents stumble upon an abandoned town that turns out to be the portal to a world of spirits and gods. When her parents are turned into pigs, Chihiro must find work in the witch Yubaba's bathhouse to survive and find a way to rescue them. Hayao Miyazaki built in 2001 a learning fable about work, memory, and identity with the visual density of a dream that you don't want to end.

Spirited Away is the most-watched film in Japanese history and the only anime to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Miyazaki at the height of his inventiveness: each shot has a new detail in every viewing.
