When Aada disappears on a stormy night, Nikolas keeps missing her. He holds in his heart the memory of his sister and a promise that carries him through many long years. With every Christmas, a new story grows around him, full of secrets, unexpected meetings and small miracles.

Despite the hardships, Nikolas finds friends beside him and discovers how much joy kindness can bring to others. And so a Christmas tradition is born, whose roots reach back to one brother’s love and hope.
