All you wanted was a nice set of wine glasses for your aunt's birthday. Yet when you set foot into Howl's Curio Emporium, a strange shop that seems to appear from nowhere, you find its enigmatic owner, Howl, instead. While Howl seems charming, it's hard to let yourself fall in love with a stranger, especially one with such insidious rumors swirling around him. Will you heed caution, or surrender to your curiosity? Rated PG.
