Helena, a young owner of a prosperous café, food blogger, good food and a modern lifestyle fan, lives in the vibrant city centre. As a result of her past, Christmas is a big trauma for Helena and on the recommendation of her aunt Elly, she decides to spend the holiday with her eight-year-old son Nicholas in the mountains. There, she meets a grumpy loner Richard, who is her complete opposite. Natural elements turn the Christmas vacation into an involuntary prison in a mountain hut and the children decide to take their parent’s fate into their own hands.
