Story	The film shows the struggle of the romantic relationship between Father Christmas and Mother Earth and how the fundamental differences in values drives them apart. They share the ambition to bring happiness to the children of the world, but Father Christmas' desire to bring joy through gifts conflicts with Mother Earth's perspective that such actions, despite being well-intentioned, carry a larger cost for the planet in the long run.The story depicts a letter written by Father Christmas to Mother Earth where he describes his feelings and the inner struggle between his role of granting childrens Christmas wishes and saving his relationship with Mother Earth. Ending in a hopeful scene where Father Christmas reunites with Mother Earth and realizes that he can´t live without her - nobody can.
