On a freezing New Year’s Eve, a poor young girl, frozen, shivering, bareheaded and barefoot, unsuccessfully tries to sell matches in the street. Afraid to go home because her father would beat her for failing to sell any matches and not earning even a single penny, she huddles in the alley between two houses and lights matches, one by one, to warm herself. 

A modern twist on everyone’s favourite childhood story and with some recognisable music to enhance the story.
