ST. NICHOLAS IS IN TOWN

Městem chodí mikuláš

During the evening when St. Nicholas hands out gifts to good children, and human hearts and souls yield to the mood of the Christmas season, events interlink in the lives of four people. There's an incorrigible alcoholic, the aging matron whose lover he used to be, a young nurse, and a 12-year-old boy who has spent months in the hospital, out of sight and mind of his uncaring mother. Each of the four goes through a personal crisis, though in the end a gesture of human love and sympathy becomes the greatest gift of all – one that not even St. Nicholas can offer.
