Sonya, 23, is no longer feeling the Christmas spirit. The deaths of two family members-her dementia-stricken grandmother and uncle-gone last year . Since then, her grandfather and aunt have been left alone. Four years earlier, her grandmother(her dad's mum), who lived in the neighbouring town, had died and joined her husband who had died even earlier(Sonya's grandfather). Therefore, only happy and sad memories remain with this town. In addition, her mum is in conflict with her siblings-brother and sister. She holds a huge grudge against them for not helping her to look after their mother when she still had Alzheimer's (although this changed with her sister when her husband died). Things are not any better with Sonya. Her eating disorder has led her to be constantly controlling and fearful even of Christmas Eve dinner, something she always enjoyed so much when she was younger. Christmas Eve will not be the same as it has always been - Christmas spent first with one part of the family at the grandparents on Mum's side and then at the grandparents on Dad's side and playing in the snow in the cold. Instead, mud, rain and sadness hidden behind the small and somewhat feigned joy of any closeness. But maybe things will change? Maybe God will listen to Sonya's prayers and transform this sad Christmas so that everyone, even in a smaller group, will spend it together, around one table, without insincerity and feuds?
