The Witch Hunters / Zlogonje

Shy Jovan has polio. The ten-year-old loner often retreats into his own fantasy world, where he excels as a superhero, thus managing to overcome his physical disability. Everything changes when he is befriended by Milica, a newcomer to his class. She is tough, wild and affected by nothing. Milica is also convinced that her new stepmother is a witch who has put her father under a spell. The proof: she mixes strange green juice, cooks with black salt and sings "om". High time for superhero Jovan’s first real rescue mission! THE WITCH HUNTERS is one of those unexpected, hearty festival gems that takes the audience – young and old alike – by storm, be it in Toronto, Kiev or Zurich.
