- A sequel to a cult Czech fantasy comedy The Girl on a Broomstick (1972). Once upon a time, there was a young and very stubborn pupil of magic, Saxana (Petra Cernocká), who escaped from Fairyland into the human world, fell in love with a mortal and lived happily ever after - keeping her past a secret from everyone. Now, her 9-year old daughter, Saxanka, discovers her mother's secret past and is seduced into the magical realm of wizardry, sorcerers, dwarfs, monsters, fairies... and evil comic book characters. Saxanka, accompanied by her new friend, the pixie Krakavous, visits Fairyland only to be immediately mistaken for her mother and forced to serve her mother's 300-year detention.

- Bestiar is the story of the fateful relationship Karolina - a political science major and a journalist - has with Alex, who, despite being extremely successful in his career, is actually emotionally torn inside.

But without innate bestial instincts it's futile! Bestiar is a tragicomic tale of the personal quest of a woman attempting to find the right values in a labyrinth of interpersonal relationships. Until now, that luxury - "experiencing the world" - has been granted mostly only to male characters.
