Chihiro takes a walk with her parents through a wooded area. They follow a path, which leads them to a strange kind of fete, with stalls of food and novelties, but there are no customers or staff present.
Chihiro takes a wander around, and when she goes back to her parents is shocked to discover that they have been turned into pigs(!).
She meets a young boy, who helps her find a job in a Japanese style bathhouse, though this is no ordinary bathhouse; it is frequented by Gods and spirits from Japanese folklore and, through investigation and understanding, Chihiro must find a way to reverse the spell on her parents and turn them back into regular people.
Beautiful, charming, running riot with imagination and spellbinding visual images, this is just gorgeous.
Open your mind and enjoy.
Superb.
