Police officer Pauline Schwebe wants the Christmas feeling from happy childhood back. The handwritten wish list of a little boy that she finds on a traffic light pole seems like a wonderful sign to her: nine-year-old Leo Golombeck asks Santa Claus to send a lonely soul who wants to celebrate the festival with his family and maybe even brings presents. He has already won Pauline's heart when she arrives at the Golombecks with the note in hand. Leo's older sister Lotte and his somewhat sad papa Daniel, who lost his wife after Leo's birth, are immediately likeable to her. Although the adults are still a bit strange, the miracle takes the course Leo wanted: Pauline invites the Golombecks to a big Christmas party with her parents, siblings and spouses with children. When her mother and her somewhat very direct father scrutinized the young man, whom they believe to be their daughter's long-awaited friend, Daniel and Pauline actually have to prove themselves as a couple. What seems like a false start in terms of romance is now taking a wonderful turn. Because Daniel knows how to enchant Pauline with a small present that she has not known since childhood.
