Once upon a time, a homeless bar pianist named Misu took a job playing Santa Claus in a department store. That same day, Liza escaped from an orphanage and went in search of Santa to relay her Christmas wish--a bike. On that cold, wintry day, Liza tells Misu her wish, but he can't promise her the bike, nor afford to buy her one. But the determined little girl won't give up. Popular Hungarian actor Gyorgy Cserhalmi (Zelary) channels Billy Bob Thornton from Bad Santa, only with more dramatic and poignant results, in this unusual tale of loss and love from Peter Gardos (The Porcelain Doll). In Hungarian with English subtitles.
