In a world where fantasy and reality clash in an unsettling way, a young girl named Coraline Jones feels trapped in her monotonous life. Moving into an old house with her distracted parents, she longs for adventure and excitement. While exploring her new home, she discovers a surprising hidden door that leads her to an alternate universe.
This world seems perfect at first glance: the colors are brighter, the food is delicious, and her "new" parents give her all the attention that her real ones seem unable to provide. However, there is a dark twist. The inhabitants of this parallel world, including their alter egos, soon reveal their sinister nature. The only catch is that to stay there, she must submit to a terrifying pact: having her eyes sewn up like buttons.
Coraline, initially fascinated by her new reality, begins to realize that beauty comes at a price and that this alternate life is a deadly trap. As her friends in the real world begin to disappear and the mysteries deepen, she is forced to confront an ancient being that has been manipulating her from the shadows.
With her bravery and cunning, Coraline will fight to save herself and rescue those she has lost, understanding that sometimes what seems desirable can hide terrible secrets. In an adventure filled with unexpected twists, she must make a crucial choice between pursuing a life of illusions or returning to the authentic and imperfect reality she knows.
