Practical Magic

In a small, conservative Massachusetts town, the Owens women have long been ostracized, blamed for every misfortune due to their inherent, undeniable magical abilities. Sisters Gillian and Sally, heirs to this peculiar legacy, spend their childhood yearning for escape from their eccentric aunts, their musty, potion-filled home, and the town's relentless whispers of witchcraft. Gillian, the wild and restless sister, seeks freedom through passionate, often reckless, love affairs, while Sally dreams of a conventional life, eventually marrying and having children. However, the potent bonds of sisterhood and the call of their magical heritage prove inescapable. When a dark secret from Gillian's tumultuous past threatens their lives and the safety of Sally's children, the Owens women are forced back together. They must confront their gifts, their history, and the powerful, sometimes dangerous, magic that defines them, ultimately learning to embrace their true selves and the extraordinary strength found in their unconventional family.
