In a remote village in Lapland, young Nikolas loses his family in an accident. Each family in the village decides to look after the orphaned boy for one year. At the end of each year, on Christmas Day, Nikolas shows his gratitude by making toys for the children of the families as good-bye presents. Over the years, Nikolas' adoptive families become many, and soon almost every house has presents on its doorstep on Christmas morning. When the village suffers a food shortage, the Christmas present tradition is in danger of coming to an end. This is a film for the whole family.
