Synopsis
Mai is a 13-year-old asthma-sufferer and has recently started refusing to go to school. Her parents decide to send her to the countryside where her British-born grandmother lives. Her grandmother is rumored to be a witch, so Mai asks her for witch lessons. She happily agrees but the lessons end up teaching Mai about taking control of her life and being more responsible.
