The Lowbrow Family (2017) 8

Czech Republic | 2017 | 28 min.

Our story takes us back to Castle Oreb, where friendly ghosts live with the horrible Mazal family. 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.
