Coraline is bored. Her
parents are working from home now but that means they have little time
to spend with her. The have recently moved into a new home so Coraline
goes exploring. They actually have purchased one apartment in a large
house so Coraline not only explores the house but also gets to meet the
neighbors. In one apartment live a pair of elderly sisters.
They used to be actresses and are on the eccentric side. Another
apartment is owned by a strange old man who tells Coraline that he is training
mice to dance. Coraline has her doubts about this. No one has
ever seen the mice. The last apartment is empty. Mother says
they are trying to find someone to live there. There is a door that
connects Coraline's apartment with the empty apartment. When they
open the door, they find a brick wall. But is it really a brick wall?
If so, how did it open from the other side one night? And where are
the voices coming from? When Coraline is alone one afternoon, she
takes the key and opens the door. No longer is there a brick wall.
The door opens on a large apartment just like their's. As a matter
of fact, Coraline's mother is making dinner in the other apartment.
At least it looks like Coraline's mother until she turns around.
