The English writer Diana Wynne Jones is considered the last great storyteller. The worlds of her books are so bright that they ask to be shown on the screen. Based on her bestseller "Howl's Moving Castle", the famous animator Hayao Miyazaki, winner of the "Golden Lion" - the highest award of the Venice Film Festival, made an animated film of the same name, which gained popularity in many countries.
After the death of his grandfather - a powerful wizard named Jocelyn Brandon - Andrew Hope inherits the estate of Melton House. Now you can quit boring work, live in peace and quiet and finally write a book ... But bad luck, the residents of the estate cannot come to terms with the appearance of a new owner. But Andrew has enough worries without it: a boy named Aidan suddenly appears on the threshold of his house, asking Hope for protection from sinister pursuers. Andrew cannot leave the unfortunate in trouble, but he is a completely useless wizard - he learned only one thing from his grandfather's lessons: the old stained-glass window on the kitchen door must be protected like the apple of an eye. Something very important and very magical is connected with it. Just what?..
