When the babysitter Gerda turns up Maria and Makka think she's the answer to Maria's wish - a witch that has come to abduct her brother. Maria who deeply regrets her wish must now do everything in her power to stop Gerda.
Directed by Harald Hamrell, A Witch in the Family leans on a strong ensemble — Johan Rheborg, Margreth Weivers, Rebecca Scheja — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
