Christmas is a time when young and old alike remember their dreams and reflect on the past while, at the same time, look to the future with new hope. This is what happens to Lena, a successful businesswoman whose life dramatically changes when she meets Stepashka, a small boy from a poor family. The little boy believes that Lena is the Snow Maiden and asks her to tell Santa Claus that he would like a new mother for Christmas. Lena has never been a compassionate person, but something about the little boy makes her want to help him.
