History Film / WitchWayLove

* PsychicAssistedSuicide: Under the MindControl of Molok, Mr. Nguyen (the second person to be born under a specific constellation that Morgane needs for her ritual) shoots himself in the head with a revolver in front of a [[FatalFamilyPhoto photo of his children]].

* NerdsAreVirgins: Michael is too much of a {{nerd}} to bother with a relationship with a woman, as he tells to Morgane when she brings him into her forest ritual, undresses him and kisses him. He's not so clueless with her when things start getting serious in that department, however.

Morgane Edramareck (Paradis) descends from a long line of witches. Her baby Arthur has an innate gift for witchcraft that starts manifesting. Morgane wants him to become a normal human being without supernatural powers, in order to fend off her evil uncle, the sorcerer Molok (Reno), who wants to kidnap Arthur and make him his successor, since he is the last male sorcerer and has no child of his own.

* {{Teleportation}}: Witches and sorcerers can teleport on short distances. A specific (and seemingly painful) ritual is needed to teleport at long distances, as demonstrated by Molok.

* CosmicChessGame: Molok can't leave his pool room as long as the magic powder force field is active, so he uses the pool game to magically take control of his car that Michael stole to hamper him. He makes the car accelerate dangerously this way, and one of the pool balls thrown by Molok against the ball representing Michael's car translates into a big truck he's about to crash into on the road.

* MagicallyBindingContract: Morgane makes a deal with Molok in Venice, that is, promising to have a child with him, in order to save both Arthur and Michael. The mirror in front of which they stay cracks, and Morgane falls into a coma when Molok comes to claim Arthur.

* MugglesDoItBetter: Michael is not affected by the MagicallyBindingContract Morgane and Molok concluded, so it's up to him to save Arthur in the climax. He can't take on the very powerful Molok for too long, but his own gadgets - and some tips from Morgane's family of witches - do help him a lot.

%%* NerdGlasses: Michael has them.

* MindManipulation: Witches and sorcerers can do that. Morgane uses it as a JediMindTrick out of MundaneUtility, whereas Molok has no qualms using this to kill people (such as when he turns Mr. Thompson's dogs against him or manipulates Mr. Nguyen into shooting himself in the head).

There is only one way to achieve Morgane's goal: she needs to carry out an ancient ritual which requires the presence of a person who was born under a very specific constellation. Three people meet all the requirements, and two of them end up killed by Molok. The third one is a famous Bill Gates-like American inventor named Michael Firth (Bellows). Morgane takes Michael to her family's castle in France, then unexpectedly falls in love with him, which complicates her project.
