A young girl by the name of Chihiro and her parents accidentally enter the secret world while traveling to their new home. In this secret place, the spirits run a bathhouse to cater to the needs of the Japanese Gods. As humans are not allowed in this world, Chihiro’s parents make a near fatal mistake and are immediately turned into pigs. Chihiro escapes this fate and must find a way to save her parents and turn them back into humans. A strange boy named Haku takes pity on Chihiro and helps her on her journey through this mysterious world.
