The film explores the unlikely friendship between Elphaba, a talented and misunderstood magic-user, and Glinda, a popular and ambitious young woman.

The movie was released in two parts. The first installment arrived in theaters in late 2024, and the second, which delves deeper into the story, has just arrived in cinemas.
