On New Year's Eve, a not-so-lucky thief, Misha, breaks into a house in the very center of Moscow, where a lonely old man lives. Misha hopes to improve his unenviable financial situation and bring back his family - his wife and seven-year-old daughter. However, in the old man's big house, he finds nothing of any value, except for the deposits of children's toys in the basement. The old man himself assures him that he is none other than the real Father Frost.
