In 1965 Mexico City, Flavia, a wealthy yet lonely schoolgirl, befriends Veronica, a young orphan girl who has a fascination with witchcraft. Veronica convinces Flavia that she is a real witch and forces her to be her assistant. The children's games gradually become more serious and Veronica demands more from Flavia.
Directed by Carlos Enrique Taboada, Poison for the Fairies leans on a strong ensemble — Ana Patricia Rojo, Elsa Maria Gutierrez, Leonor Llausás — 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 1986.
