Strange, inexplicable things begin to happen, and the girls grow suspicious of one another.

It's not easy living with the Mazal family, especially when the castle lords Hugo and Růžena haven't given up their desire to get rich. A little older but still unbearable are their children; Hugo Jr. only thinks of himself and Pavlinka is still caught up with new trends. But the ghosts have another problem. They haven't managed to organize the fairy-tale symposium and the fairy-tale book of spells is lost; the book mustn't get into the wrong hands. And it's more than clear that the Mazals would love to get their hands on such a book.

Score:
A story inspired by true events about two children whose innocent play will change their lives forever. For Lucia, Jarka is nothing more than a best friend. Ten-year-old Jarka doesn’t see it that way though. She would much rather have her mom try to be a mother instead. Jarka dreams of having a real family and a house by the sea. Left on her own, she stumbles upon twin infants abandoned at the train station and decides to take them in. Her grandmother’s enchanted garden becomes a safe haven where she can take on the role of a parent together with her neighbour Kristian, who himself suffers from overprotective parents. In an impressive manner, the two prove how loving true affection and an awareness of responsibility can look when individuals hold tight to their dreams without disappointing those closest to them.
