The story of Mary and the witch flower
Mary and the Witch's Flower, Hiromasa Yonebayashi's film, tells the story of a unique blue flower, which blooms once every seven years among the trees of an enchanted forest. And of little Mary Smith, who spends her holidays in the countryside, near that magical forest, exactly in the period of the miraculous flowering.
In order to escape yet another sleepy afternoon in the company of old great-aunt Charlotte, the reckless Mary chases a stray kitten in the thick of a threatening forest. He immediately lost track of the fugitive, the girl's attention is captured by a beautiful blue flower that shines among the weeds. The flower gives Mary incredible magical powers: for a while she flies astride a wild broomstick, before the spiteful wood throws her at the door of an important school of magic. The institute called Endors College, directed by the exuberant Madama Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee, does not convince the astute Mary, who in order to survive in the unknown universe inhabited by magicians and fantastic creatures, decides to steal a very special book.
The bored little girl looking for friends is thus sucked into an extraordinary adventure, which she will have to face with audacity and determination to unravel the mystery of the flower and defeat the terrible rival witch.
