Spirited Away follows Chihiro, a girl who’s moving with her family to a new home. A stop to explore an abandoned village sees her life forever changed, as her family undergoes a mysterious transformation. Chihiro, herself, is transported to a mystical realm, filled with all manner of spirits who serve the great sorceress Yubaba. It is here that Chihiro finds herself, forced to work in a bathhouse with only her wits to rely on for survival. She must find a way to free her family, as she makes her escape from this mystical realm.

Tickets for Spirited Away are on sale right now. The film will be shown on October 28, 29, and 30.
