Teenage witch Saxana (Petra Černocká), sentenced to be frozen in time for 300 years as a punishment for failing her classes, casts a spell that transports her to the human world, where she hooks up with a band of juvenile delinquents and spread mischief at school using her magic. This charming Czechoslovakian fantasy is buoyed by the performance of 22-year-old singer Černocká, along with a talented supporting cast, including Jan Hrušínský as Honza, a sensitive young man who befriends the time-tossed witch.
