"Clara is a girl who, after the death of her mother, lives with her cruel aunt and cousin. They bully her and treat her like a servant. Every night, she cries herself to sleep. But the night when the story of The Nutcracker begins is different. Not because the Christmas tree is being decorated and there are presents, but because magic seems to linger in the cold winter air. Toys come to life, mice are on the hunt, and Clara gets the chance to become the hero of her own story. Will she seize the opportunity?
