In a strange house surrounded by the river and the fog, Christmas is approaching: the Old Woman spends her days toasting almonds, mixing fruits, cinnamon and honey, melting steaming chocolate and kneading soft loaves. She has lived since time immemorial surrounded by the delicious fumes of her kitchen, and one day Death knocks on her door: it's time.
Day after day, dessert after dessert, the Old Woman postpones her departure, with a single purpose: to let death know the warmth and crunchiness of life, and to pass on her recipes to children all over the world.
A touching, almost classic fairy tale that will warm your heart... and your stomach.
