Little Gypsy Witch is a musical comedy with elements of fantasy, portraying the life of an unusual family of Gypsies, seen through the eyes of 10-year-old only child Manuša. Mother Aska works in a light bulb factory, father Hrast plays the trumpet in a funeral orchestra and Baba (grandma) Ilonka, the famous local fortune teller, unerringly predicts the neighbours' fortunes until the morning she herself gets the Death card. After Baba Ilonka's death, Aska is fired from her job, father loses his musical talent and his trumpet disobeys him, and the family pet skunk Baltazar turns grey from stress and eventually fades away and disappears. With help from Baba's ghost (trapped in a painting on a living room wall), Manuša and her classmate Zdenko discover the truth that lies behind 'Baba's curse' and a big family secret.
