THE LITTLE WITCH LONGS TO DANCE TOGETHER WITH THE OLDER WITCHES ON WALPURGIS NIGHT AROUND THE BLOCKSBERG. THE HEAD OF THE WITCHES FINALLY GIVES HER THE CHANCE TO PROVE HERSELF. SHE GIVES THE LITTLE WITCH THE TASK TO CARRY OUT AS MANY GOOD ACTIONS AS POSSIBLE WITHIN A YEAR. THE LITTLE WITCH WHO LIVES WITH HER FRIEND ABRAXAS IN A SMALL FOREST HOUSE, TRIES TO ACT AS PERFECTLY AS SHE THINKS A GOOD WITCH SHOULD ACT. DURING THIS YEAR THE WEATHER WITCH AND HER INFERIOR MOUSE OBSERVE THEM AND MAKE MANAGING THEIR TASKS VERY DIFFICULT. AFTER A YEAR OF LEARNING IN THE WITCH BOOK AND A LOT OF GOOD ACTIONS THE LITTLE WITCH IS READY TO FACE THE HEAD OF THE WITCHES AND THE WITCH COUNCILLOR.

BUT SUDDENLY AN AWFUL AND UNEXPECTED SURPRISE EMERGES AND TURNS THE WHOLE STORY AROUND. FOR THE PARTS OF THE STORY THAT OCCUR IN THE PAST THE COSTUMES ARE A BIT OVER THE TOP. IT IS BASED ON THE IDEA THAT PICTURES SHIFT IN AND OUT OF MEMORY AND WE REMEMBER SOME THINGS AS GREATER AND MORE EXTREME THAN THEY ACTUALLY ONCE EXISTED IN REALITY. THE MAJOR HAS A VERY BIG BELLY, THE BEARDS ARE ESPECIALLY EXORBITANT, THE HATS AND SCARFS OF THE CHILDREN ARE TOO LONG AND TOO BIG. THE WITCHES ARE A MIXTURE OF DIVA AND OLD WITCH. EACH WITCH HAS AN ANIMAL IN THE SAME COLOUR AS HER COSTUME.
