Sent to Estonia by her dad to live with her Aunt in hopes of shaping her up, Sylvia (played by Alyssa Milano) discovers a place where Christmas is not allowed to be celebrated, churches are closed up, and most people don't even own telephones! Sylvia soon finds herself in the middle of a group effort to help Estonians regain the right to celebrate Christmas as she falls in love with the leader of the rebellion. She is then forced to look at the big picture and to put shallow things aside as she realizes what is really important in life before she can whole-heartily fight for the Estonians. This is a movie of adventure, heroism, courage, hope, love, compassion and danger. If you're looking to be inspired, I highly recommend it!
