10 year old Julian is usually looking forward to Christmas, which is also his birthday, but this year is nothing as it used to. No decorated Christmas tree, no lights, no smell of gingerbread or cocoa, and no crackles from the fireplace. You see, Julian and his family are suffering a major loss after older sister Juni died, and Julian believes christmas is simply canceled this year.
Then one day Julian meets Hedvig who fills him with hope that maybe there will be Christmas after all. But there is something mysterious about the house Hedvig lives in. Who is the strange old man who constantly pops up? And what is it Hedvig hides?
