Christmas tale – The little witch

The little witch lives with her faithful companion, the raven Abraxas, in a small house in the middle of the forest. At 127 years old, she is still far too young to dance with the other witches on Walpurgis Night on the Blocksberg. She sneaks off to the witches’ night anyway and is promptly caught. As punishment, she is given the task of becoming a “good” witch by the following year. If she passes the witch test, she will finally be allowed to take part in the big dance. Easier said than done … All the spells and complicated curses don’t really work out. Something keeps happening that the little witch and Abraxas didn’t expect. On top of that, the wicked witch Rumpumpel tries everything in his power to prevent the little witch from achieving her big goal, and then the two of them really misunderstand what it means to be a “good” witch. This classic children’s book by Otfried Preußler from 1957 tells an endearing story about the value of friendship, the power of youth and the victory of good over evil with a great deal of humor and timelessness. Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes, no intermission
