It’s Christmas Eve. Marie and Fritz Stahlbaum are excited. They are celebrating and dancing. Marie’s eyes light up when her godfather gives her a nutcracker, which she immediately takes to her heart. Fritz is delighted to receive a new squadron of hussars for his toy army, which he has been longing for. But during the night, the toys come to life, big, fat mice scurry through the room and with a rumble, the Christmas tree begins to grow and the nutcracker also comes to life.
Together with him, Marie enters the land of sweets and a journey into wondrous worlds begins.
