100 years ago, the Russian Empire Christmas Eve. December traffic jams, festive festivities, luxurious balls and modest holidays, titled nobles and ordinary peasants, progressive poets, everything was different, except for the holiday.
Besieged Leningrad. In the suburban house of the Resurrection, living "in a special position," six people and a chicken that no one can cook is gathered. Previously, the cook was engaged in this, but she was taken away from Voskresenskys on the eve - hard times came outside, and the situation was not easy inside either: the younger son brought a hungry girl, the eldest daughter was an unfamiliar man, whom she was going to marry. Just a few minutes left before the New Year, and the number of problems grows like a snowball.
