One evening close to Christmas, the tree, having seen the splendidly trimmed Christmas trees standing in the windows of nearby houses, and longing to be as beautiful as they are, begs the boy to trim it too. But the boy has neither ornaments nor money to buy any, in fact he has nothing. How can he make this withered, shriveled tree look beautiful, there in the middle of a filthy, freezing pavement? And yet this night will prove to be a very different night from every other. It will be a night when dreams come true, a night of enchantment and magic.

The movie deserves an 8,5. It's main purpose is to present a flaming social problem to the children. It bombards us constantly with many different meanings in a way that it keeps us in the edge of our seat. The graphics are brilliant in comparison with other Greek animation movies. The music is also really fitting. Chertos when combined with bouzouki relates to the struggle of Greek people to earn the necessary. The melancholic voice of Dara serves perfectly the above purpose. Furthermore, the are numerous of symbolisms and the ending is open. The only drawback is acting, even though the voice of Savopoulos (as the tree) is the most appropriate. Last but not least,the movie has the right duration although some viewers may find it tiring.
