Eight‑year‑old Paul moves with his mother into a skyscraper. After a humiliating exchange with Anna, the two argue in an elevator that suddenly plunges into a witch’s hidden realm. The witch, whose time is ending, seeks their youth. To survive, Paul and Anna must cooperate, aided by a blind horse, a clock without hands and a cowardly knight.
