Plot – Sally and Gillian Owens have always known to be different. Raised up by the aunts after their parents’ death, the two sisters grew up in an unconventional family, where the rules existed but they counted only for the other people. When they were young, they used to eat chocolate cakes for breakfast, they stayed up late at night to study the magical books and they practiced the arts conveyed from generation to generation by the Owens’ women. So Aunt Dianne West Jet and Aunt Frances Stockard Channing hope to hand down the strength that comes from the use of magic to their granddaughters. However, the Owens’ invocation of the witchcraft has a price: someone calls it a curse, true love will be just a dream for them, something impossible to obtain.
