Plot[]
A touching New Year's fairy tale about those who, despite money and status, lack love and warmth.
Moscow, the late 1990s. The burglar Beryozkin, an unlucky robber, temporarily leaves the colony on winter holidays. With himself, he carries money for gifts to the whole area, which magically disappear in the hands of the pickpockets he meets, and Berezkin, frustrated, almost does not take care of himself. Accidentally turned Santa Claus, he's a swindler and a tramp Aristarchus, offers the best solution: to rob a non-poor house of a banker, with a good refund of the lost one.
The robbers do not suspect what the danger is. Twelve-year-old Sasha, daughter of a businesswoman, set up clever traps, in which it's hard not to get to the unfortunate Beryozkin. However, instead of calling the police and other troubles, he expects ordinary blackmail. The unfortunate child Sasha, threatening with exposure, demands from the burglar to rob a bank of his eternally busy parent - the daughter does not have enough mother's warmth, and she wants to live the way ordinary children live.
