VIRA'S HEART DESIRE

fiction feature film


Trying to determine who is now in charge of Ukraine, the three legendary characters - Father Frost, Santa Claus, and Saint Nicholas - simultaneously fulfill the wish of little Vira, who, because of her parents’ quarrel, wishes that Christmas would not exist. And the holiday, with all its attributes, disappears from the city and people’s memories. Instead of carols and Christmas spirit, the town is swallowed up by sadness, depression, and gray gloom. Having turned into ordinary men, whose magical powers are gradually disappearing, the sworn enemies have to unite to restore people’s faith in miracles and hope for a brighter future.
