Synopsis

On a cold New Year's Eve a young, poor girl tries to sell matches in the street. She is already shivering from cold but she is also afraid to go home because her father will beat her for not selling any matches. She shelters in a nook, sits down and lights the matches to warm herself. In their glow, she sees several lovely visions including a Christmas tree, a holiday feast and her late grandmother.
