Pure Devilry (2018) 6

Czech Republic | 2018 | 101 min.

The main heroes are the two awkward devils, Popelák and Uhelák, who are sent out into the world as punishment by Hell's ruler; they have a month to retrieve a sinful soul. Their task isn't so easy at first; instead of guiding people to sin, they inadvertently help them. Disguised as farmhands, they find work on a farm and seem to be successful at last. The calculating farmer wants to marry his daughter Hanička to the vain landowner Kopyto. But Hanička loves Jan, and in order to have a happy ending, they'll need some hellish help.
