Story

Coraline Jones and her parents move into an old house that has been divided into flats. During a rainy day she discovers a locked door in a downstairs room. In its place is a long passageway, which leads to a flat identical to her own, inhabited by her Other Mother and Other Father, who are replicas of her real parents. They have button eyes and exaggerated features.
