A Christmas Market love story set in northern Japan.
In the snow-covered streets of Sapporo, Christmas is a time of colorful illumination and festive cheer. But for university student Jun, the snowy season is a stark reminder of the tragic car accident that claimed his mother's life ten years ago. Since then, his father, Kazuya, has buried himself in his snow plowing business, clinging to a tradition of volunteering at the Munich Christmas market, a cherished spot of his late wife. Caught in their shared grief, father and son have drifted apart, losing touch with the true spirit of Christmas-hope, love, and connection.
This year, an unexpected encounter with Binh from Vietnam ignites a spark of change: her infectious joy and unique perspective on life challenge Jun to view the world anew. Meanwhile, Kazuya is drawn to a kind-hearted postcard seller at the market, rekindling feelings he thought were long lost.
Set in white winter Japan, this story weaves a tale of healing, Christian faith, and the rejuvenating power of love. As Jun and Kazuya navigate their emotional journey, they find that this Christmas might just offer them a chance to open their hearts once more and resurrect the true meaning of the season.
"Christmas this year is going to be different, you'll see."
