When Lilly the Witch conjures St. Nick's wild helper Ruprecht to teach her little brother a lesson, Ruprecht escapes and starts wreaking havoc in Lilly's home town. She has to travel back in time to the Middle Ages to find St. Nick and save Christmas for all the kids in the world...
Based on the internationally bestselling novels by Knister, which have been translated into 50 languages, LILLY THE WITCH has a another thrilling adventure: To save Christmas for all children around the world, she will have to outdo herself, relying on her skills, her friends and her clumsy little dragon Hector. This highly entertaining and partly animated feature film from the producers of "Yoko" and "Help, I Shrunk My Teacher" stars Jürgen Vogel ("The Wave", "Mercy") as the wild spirit Ruprecht.
Lilli is annoyed: Why does she always have to accomodate her little brother Leon? His allergies prevent her from getting a pet rabbit, and when he destroys the new telescope she just got from St. Nick (well, maybe it was Lilly's grandma with a fake beard), Lilly has finally had enough! Despite all the warnings from her little green dragon Hector, she uses a spell from her spellbook to conjure St. Nick's scary helper Ruprecht into her world from the Middle Ages to teach Leon a little lesson... The conjuration is successful, but when Ruprecht sets out in the modern world to go looking for his friend St. Nick, it gets Lilly into all sorts of trouble. He makes one of Lilly's teacher's vanish, slowly turning back into the wild underworld creature he was before St. Nick tamed him. Looks like the real medieval St. Nick is the only one who can help now. But how is Lilly supposed to find him? While she conjures herself back to Ruprecht's day with her schoolmate Layla, Ruprecht continues to wreak havoc in Lilly's hometown, seriously endangering Christmas. Lilli will need all her courage and smarts to make up for her mistake and save Christmas for her family and everyone in town...
