Jack Frost (1979)

Every year, Jack Frost, the unseen harbinger of winter, paints the world in a palette of frost and snow. Yet, a melancholic ache gnaws at him, born from his invisibility to the very humans he works his magic for. His heart finds an anchor in the form of young, radiant Elisa, a peasant woman whose beauty rivals the stunning winter landscapes he crafts. Desperate for a tangible existence, Jack implores Father Winter, his superior, for a chance to become human. Father Winter sets certain conditions - Jack must acquire a house, a horse, a bag of gold, and most importantly, a wife, all before the arrival of spring. As Jack steps into the hustle and bustle of human life, he is drawn towards Elisa and her downtrodden family, oppressed under the iron fist of a covetous Cossack. The villain's greed extends beyond their income, for he too has set his sights on Elisa. In the midst of this struggle, Jack finds himself vying for Elisa's affections against her childhood love, the gallant Sir Ravenal. As the days shorten and spring looms, Jack is left to ponder over his decision. Will he choose to remain a mortal, entangled in human strife and love, or return to his ethereal existence as the unseen artist of winter? The world waits in suspense as Jack Frost's journey unfolds, teetering on the brink of a transformative spring.
