Synopsis

The Witch from Melchet Street is an urban legend, based on a book by Gadi Taub. It tells the story of a boy and an elderly witch, who live in the same building, in 1980s Tel Aviv. The boy is a dreamy kid, who falls in love with the new girl in the neighbourhood. The elderly witch, now retired, lost her love many years before.
