In 1843, despite the fact that Charles Dickens is a successful writer, the failure of his latest book puts his career at a crossroads, until the moment when, struggling with inspiration and confronting reality with his childhood memories, a new character is born in the depths of his troubled mind; an old, lonely, embittered man, so vivid, so human, that a whole world where love must prevail over selfishness grows around him, a story so inspiring that changed the meaning of Christmas celebration since then and forever.
