00:51parents' car, clutching a bouquet of flowers and feeling a sense of loss as they move to a new town.

00:57The car weaves through narrow, tree-lined roads, and her father takes a detour, eventually leading

01:04them to an old, overgrown path. Curiosity peaked, her parents decide to explore the mysterious area.

01:14The family finds themselves at the entrance of an abandoned amusement park. Chihiro's parents,

01:21drawn by the tantalizing scent of food, follow it to a food stall laden with sumptuous dishes.

01:29Ignoring Chihiro's apprehension, they gorge themselves, transforming into pigs due to their greed.

01:37Chihiro, now alone and terrified, watches in horror as dusk falls, and the world around her begins to change.

01:44As night falls, Chihiro encounters Haku, a mysterious boy who urges her to leave before sunset.

01:53The once deserted park comes alive with spirits, and Chihiro, now transparent and fading, seeks refuge.

02:02Haku gives her a berry that restores her strength and advises her to get a job at Yubaba's bathhouse,

02:09to avoid being turned into an animal. Chihiro, trembling with fear, makes her way to the bathhouse.

02:18Inside, she faces Yubaba, a formidable witch with an imposing presence, and a giant baby named Bo.

02:32This act symbolizes Yubaba's control over Chihiro and her loss of identity.

02:38Sin starts working in the bathhouse, performing various tasks and facing challenges.

02:46She meets Kamaji, the boiler man with multiple arms, and Lin, a kind-hearted worker who becomes her friend.

02:54One of her first major tasks is to clean a stink spirit, a filthy and polluted creature.

04:40whose name he had forgotten. This revelation helps Haku remember his true identity,

04:47Kahaku River, and break free from Yubaba's control.

05:20Haku, now free, promises to meet Chihiro again as he bids her farewell.
