SYNOPSIS

In this sequel to the famous film Kekec, our little hero and his friend Rožle meet the mythological mountain hag Pehta, and Kekec learns that looks can deceive. Pehta hides the medicine that would heal Mojca's blindness and scorns the villagers' superstitions until the very last moment — yet Kekec's cheeky tricks and winning ways soften her, and she reveals how to use the magic herbal drops. Mojca regains her eyesight.  

NOTE

The first Slovenian color feature film and winner of the Bronze Osella in the youth film category at the Venice Film Festival. Digitally restored to mark the 120th anniversary of Slovenian cinema, Good Luck, Kekec is a sequel that stands as a complete adventure in its own right, filling the screen with the dazzling colors of the Julian Alps.
