Synopsis
La Befana Vien di Notte (The Legend of the Christmas Witch, 2018) is an Italian family fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Michele Soavi built the film around Italy's own gift-giving legend: Befana, the old witch who flies on a broomstick every January 5th and fills children's stockings overnight.
Six elementary school kids become convinced their favourite teacher is the real Befana — and when she vanishes just before the holiday, they launch a rescue mission. Paola Cortellesi and Stefano Fresi lead the cast. The story moves fast, mixes gentle slapstick with genuine warmth, and roots itself in Italian folklore rather than borrowing the usual Christmas-movie playbook from Hollywood.
For families tired of reheated holiday plots, this co-production between Italy and Spain offers something genuinely different. Stream The Legend of the Christmas Witch (2018) online on iFILM.
