Saxana – veletrh strašidel / SaxanaSummary
The loose continuation of Václav Vorlíček's successful Czechoslovak film comedy The Girl on the Broom from 1971. – The former witch-school student Saxana happily married her first love Honza and they live with their daughter Saxánka in a large, inherited villa. The last will of her grandmother Antonie stipulates that her uncle Evžen, a judge for a regional court, and her wacky aunt Irma, a children's books writer, also live with them. But none of them have any idea of Saxana’s past. The film combines live acting with animated passages.
