Willow, a red-headed teenage girl from Ireland named after a tree, moves with her father to the house where she grew up until her mother’s passing, passed down to her by a distant relative, Alwina. Along with it, she also inherited her very own lush forest, a brand-new life in a brand-new school, as well as something truly unexpected: a letter revealing she is descended from a large family of powerful witches. Now, Willow must awaken her powers and, with the help of three fellow witches, save the enchanted forest from a tragic fate – greedy developers, who are threatening to seize the land and turn it into a shopping mall! A wonderful film for all ages, made with handcrafted effects and animation, which proves with every single frame what “magic of cinema” really means.
