SUGAR CANDY
a “scary” family film CZECH - SLOVAK CO-PRODUCTION
SUGAR CANDY is a family "scarry" movie. Why scarry?
As the story plot takes place partly in a typical horror setting – AT THE DENTIST'S!
But do not worry, it will also be a thrilling retro-funny story.
The story is set at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The protagonist of the film is Anna Jesenská (29) who is a dentist. Anna inherited a house and a dental office from her uncle Nicholas Kolowrat on the Austro-Hungarian border in Honeytown. (Honig-Mezes). Her desire is to help people, especially to children. Her main motivation stems from the fact that her mother died after a procedure performed by a local blacksmith, who was the only dental expert in the village of that time. She arrives to take her inheritance over, but on the arrival to Honeytown she faces a shock. Nicholas Kolowrat gave up his dental practice long ago and dedicated the rest of his life only to paintings and sculptures.
In the house, Anna meets a mysterious old man, Grandpa Planta (80). Planta used to be Nicholas Kolowrat's gardener. Behind the villa in the garden there is an incredible greenhouse, overflowing with exotic fruits – Chinese gooseberries (kiwi), bananas, tangerines, pineapples, and also mysterious Peruvian plants. Uncle Kolowrat used to be an enthusiastic traveller in his youth and was bringing the plant seeds from his frequent journeys to South America back home to plant them. However, the miracle with the greenhouse has a simple explanation. There is a hot spring in the garden that heats the greenhouse all year round. The problem, however, is that the spring water smells awfully. And that was also one of the reasons why patients stopped coming to Kolowrat's dental office. It is widely believed that the spring water comes from hell, the witches have been gathering here ever since and the house is haunted.
However, Anna does not get scared easily. Despite the peripety with the town hall (the dental office must be awarded an official permission to open again), she will restart the dentistry in the house. Granpa Planta helps her in her effort. But the main movers of the story plot are a bunch of local boys, of whom the leader Jacob (8) is the son of Karel Rézl, a village builder, who is Anna's future suitor (Karel is a widower).
After a while, Anna finds out that when she uses an ointment made from Peruvian herbs no dental procedure hurts. It is a miracle, and thanks to that (the scary devils are forgotten) she wins all patients and they start to attend her dental office.
