A whimsical, heartwarming family film about a young witch's determination to prove herself despite age-based restrictions, grounded in themes of belonging and self-improvement.

The little witch is only 127 years old – too young for the annual coven of witches. Although she is not yet old enough to be a real witch she wants to become a really good one. This decision causes trouble inside her magic world.
