Wow.. Such a good rendition of a classic tale

[SoCalDem]

On a snowy Christmas Eve, a young orphan girl has nowhere to go and nothing but the clothes on her back and her basket of matches to keep her from the cold. With each spark of flame from her matches, she relives the love and warmth of Christmas past, when her mother was still alive. A delicately animated retelling of the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale.
