The film is based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Eiko Kadono. It tells the charming coming-of-age story of Kiki, a young witch who must leave home at the age of 13 to find her path and become independent.

Plot

The story begins with Kiki, a 13-year-old witch, leaving her family to complete her mandatory year of independence. Accompanied by her talking black cat, Jiji, Kiki flies on her broomstick to the seaside city of Koriko. The bustling city is a stark contrast to her rural hometown, and Kiki struggles to find her place.

After a rocky start, Kiki meets Osono, a kind and pregnant baker who offers her room and board in exchange for helping out at her bakery. Inspired by her need to be useful and her only notable skill—flying—Kiki starts a delivery service, using her broomstick to deliver goods around the city.

As Kiki settles into her new life, she encounters various characters who shape her journey:

Tombo: A quirky and aviation-obsessed boy who becomes a close friend and admirer of Kiki.

Ursula: A free-spirited artist living in the forest who helps Kiki understand and overcome her self-doubt.

Kiki’s business starts to thrive, but she faces challenges that test her resolve and self-confidence. She begins to lose her magical abilities, including her ability to fly and communicate with Jiji. This loss represents Kiki’s internal struggle with self-doubt and the pressures of growing up.

In a pivotal moment, Kiki is called upon to save Tombo, who is in danger due to a dirigible accident. Despite her waning powers, Kiki’s determination and bravery lead her to find the strength within herself to rescue him. This act of courage restores her confidence and her magical abilities.

The film concludes with Kiki regaining her confidence and powers, finding her place in the city, and embracing her identity as a young witch. She continues her delivery service, now fully confident in her abilities and future.
