"An enchanting children's film that uses its absurd premise for entertaining slapstick and laconic humor. Stylistically staged in a way that is as fairytale-like as it is imaginative, it celebrates the childlike joy of celebration and community."

- Michael Ranze, filmdienst.de

On December 24th, little Elise wakes up with the strange feeling that this day is a special one. But she simply can't remember. Her father and the other inhabitants of the village can't help her either, because where Elise comes from, people are very, very forgetful. When Elise finds a dusty wooden box in the attic with 24 painted doors that say "Merry Christmas", she thinks she has found a hot lead to solving the mystery. She makes her way to the carpenter of the box, who immediately recognizes the seriousness of the situation: the entire village has forgotten Christmas. He knows of only one person who can help them now - a man with a white beard and red coat who Elise has never heard of. But the three of them don't have much time left to revive the villagers' memories of the most wonderful time of the year. An unforgettable night full of wonder begins for Elise.
