Plot

Eva, an ex-dancer, is now living in a wheelchair, unable to walk. When her friend Sophie gives her an old wooden antique advent calendar before Christmas, she realizes each window contains a surprise that triggers repercussions in real life: some of them good, but most of them bad... Now Eva will have to choose between getting rid of the calendar or walking again… even if it causes death around her.

Eva Roussel, a former dancer living with paralysis, receives an unusual advent calendar from her friend Sophie on her birthday. The strange gift offers more than ordinary holiday treats, bringing unexpected changes that challenge Eva's daily life. As the calendar reveals its hidden rules, Eva faces difficult choices involving desire, loss, and the price of transformation. Driven by a need to reclaim what she lost, she follows the calendar's path while trying to understand the force behind its power.
