Alchemist Academy

Twelve-year-old Ariana has been plagued by adversity since childhood. Alone in the world with an extraordinary gift of magic, she ends up in an orphanage, where she has to endure bullying from other children and teachers. But all the little girl wants is to find a home and find out who her parents were. Her life is suddenly turned upside down when the old alchemist Archivald seeks her out. He offers her the opportunity to enter the school of alchemists, where she will find not only her dream home, but also inseparable friends. However, in order to become a full-fledged student, she must pass the entrance exams. Young alchemists Lora and Mertur prepare her for these exams. At the school, she will not only gain new knowledge and friendships, but also uncover ancient secrets. And when the witch Murien appears, Ariana must risk everything to find out the truth about her past.

Directed by Lukáš Daniel Pařík, Petr Kubík, Alchemist Academy leans on a strong ensemble — Magdalena Müller, Roman Zach, Petr Kubík — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 2025.
