Hidden in the corner of a dusty old bookshop, Joachim discovers a handmade advent calendar and begs his father to let him take it home.

The next morning, when he opens the calendar''s first door, out falls a tightly folded piece of paper: the first instalment of a magical story about a young girl named Elisabet.

Little by little these pieces tell the girl''s story, and as we learn what happened to her, another story is revealed - that of the strange old man who made the calendar.
