/ Project description /
This enchanting film, is about courageous and curious kitten, Bea, who dreams of becoming a great witch but can’t cast a single spell. One day, Bea’s boredom and curiosity drive her to run away from her overprotective father, leading her to enroll in a local magic school in the city. Inadvertently, she brings a mortal boy named Calvin to the island, where non-magical beings are strictly prohibited. Bea and Calvin embark on a remarkable journey, navigating a world where the entire island seems to be against them. As they search for a way to return Calvin to his own world, Bea uncovers dark secrets about the island, her past, and her family.
