In this charming Czechoslovak fantasy, irrepressible teenage witch Saxana (Petra Černocká)—facing three hundred years of detention at her sorcery academy—casts a spell that transports her to the human world where she joins up with a band of delinquents and uses her magic to spread mischief at their school—including turning the teachers to rabbits! One of a string of beloved fairy-tale comedies directed by Václav Vorlíček (WHO WANTS TO KILL JESSIE?), THE GIRL ON THE BROOMSTICK bursts with whimsical special effects and a sense of pure play.
