How much Androniki longs for the big, beautiful doll in the window of the central bookstore! Will her parents get it for her for Christmas? Or should she ask Santa Claus for it?

Santa Claus comes to her home every year, but he has never been to her beloved friend Iliana's house. Although the little girl does not seem to care about that. What she wishes for this year's holidays is for her sailor father, who is held captive by Somali pirates, to come back safe.

The whole neighborhood is in turmoil, while Grandma Paresa has fallen ill from her sadness. But who is this priest, with the dark beard and gentle eyes, who came to visit Iliana's family? And what does he mean when he says that Androniki will get what she truly desires?

A fairy tale about the desires of our hearts and the gifts from "our" Santa Claus.
