Synopsis
A silhouette animation of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale. It is Christmas Eve, but nobody cares to buy her matches, and the little girl, exhausted from cold and hunger, collapses on the street. The little match girl strikes the matches she has to sell, and for a brief moment she can feel warmth. In the sparks of the matches, the spirits of death are dancing. As the girl recalls her dear old grandmother, Grandma appears in a fantasy and softly embraces her.
