"Nutcracker" - about the plot:
"Marie is in joyful anticipation of Christmas Eve. Among many other presents, she receives a dancing, mechanical figure and a nutcracker from her old, mysterious Uncle Drosselmeier, which particularly appeals to Marie's childlike imagination. She happily falls asleep under the Christmas tree with the nutcracker in her arms. She has a strange dream. Uncle Drosselmeier makes the Christmas tree grow to infinity, the Nutcracker comes to life..."
