On the outskirts of Bucharest lies the family home of a woman claiming to be Europe's most powerful witch. It’s here Mihaela Minca is planning an ambitious but controversial school that she hopes will give women from her minority Roma community a new chance at life. Half of the Roma gypsy community live below the poverty line, and most drop out of education due to poverty, discrimination and early marriage.
But not everyone is convinced by the magic this school offers. Witchcraft was forbidden during the communist era, and some politicians have tried to ban the practice altogether. The school also flies in the face of the Orthodox Christian church who believe witchcraft is an abomination.
