Vědma is a fantasy miniseries, the story of which dates back to the period of Rudolfinum Prague, but the plot itself is set in the present. It is a story about the age-old battle between good and evil - light and darkness.
Filip, one of the many alchemists of the Rudolfinian era, is passionately devoted to experiments with the elixir of eternal life. Thanks to the existence of the mysterious Golem, he manages to become almost immortal, as well as his descendants Lucia and Tom. Together they travel through time, fueled only by evil and negative energy. They create this among humans by manipulating them using technologies that help them maintain their power and longevity. Their main goal is to get rid of the centuries-old curse of dependence on this energy and move to dimensions where they will no longer be bound to physical bodies.
However, to achieve this goal, he must find a transition portal that is guarded by a mysterious figure known as the Witch. She ranks among the beings of light that are not entirely of this world. They can move through time and space and thus exist in parallel worlds. The energy source they use is pure light, so they don't need any tools. Ordinary people also play an important role in the story. Even among them there are individuals who can perceive beings of light, thanks to the gift of expanded consciousness.
