Event Details
A witch film like few others, Kiki’s Delivery Service is a warm-hearted story that follows a girl entering adulthood and discovering her capabilities, while, refreshingly, refusing romance as a central plot device. Following tradition, on the night of the full moon after she turns 13, Kiki must take flight on her broom and leave her family behind to start a new life in the charming port city of Koriko, where she will learn to use her powers. With a wise-cracking black cat named Jiji by her side, enterprising Kiki quickly becomes a local phenomenon as she strives to find her community and herself.
