Synopsis

Anička Jesenská inherits a house with a greenhouse and a dental office in the town of Medov from her mysterious uncle. After Anička’s mother died under the care of a village blacksmith – who, despite having a reputation as a local dental expert –, Anička, now a trained doctor, is determined to help others, especially children. But there’s one problem: no one comes to her. The villa she inherited has a dark reputation. Locals say that it’s a haunted house, and they avoid it like the plague. Rumour has it a spring runs beneath the house straight from the depths of hell. Then everything changes. Thanks to an exotic Peruvian herb growing in her greenhouse, Anička makes a breakthrough: dental procedures don’t have to be painful. Word spreads, and her office is suddenly packed with patients. Not everyone is thrilled by her success, though. Dr. Druml, a rival dentist in town, sees her as a threat. A lopsided battle begins – but Anička isn’t alone. A gang of local kids soon jumps in to help, and the fight for better dental care turns into something much bigger.
