In his wildest dreams, ten-year-old Jovan embodies Shade, a powerful being with superhuman abilities, destined to save the world from evil. But outside his sketchbook and elaborate dioramas that sprawl across his bedroom, limitations and insecurities about his partial cerebral palsy leave Jovan feeling less than heroic. His gutsy new friend, Milica, gives him an unexpected sense of confidence when he agrees to accompany her on her quest to defeat her father’s girlfriend, an apparent witch whose spell is tearing Milica’s family apart. As the two hatch their master plan, a deep friendship develops—one that knows no bounds of loyalty and acceptance. Jovan and Milica join forces but must test their own limits of physical and emotional strength if they are to succeed in their daring mission. Funny, refreshing, and heartwarming, THE WITCH HUNTERS unmasks the power of a child’s inner superhero used to make sense of a complicated world and the friends brave enough to fight alongside them. (In Serbian with subtitles) —A.B.
