The Advent Calendar (2021)

In the stark solitude of her existence, Eva, a former dancer now bound to a wheelchair, finds her life upended with the arrival of an antique advent calendar, a seemingly innocuous birthday gift from her closest confidante, Sophie. This centuries-old relic, however, is far from ordinary, each of its numbered doors revealing not just a candy but a dire warning. Every sweet treat promises a daily miracle, coupled with consequences that ripple through reality, creating a cocktail of blessings and curses. Intrigued and drawn into the calendar's supernatural allure, Eva scoffs at the initial warnings. The skepticism fades to awe when an impossible call from her Alzheimer-afflicted father, on a phone long-dead, punctures her disbelief. Each candy she consumes weaves a perilous path of enchantment and chaos, straddling the line between the miraculous and the malevolent. The advent calendar's magic teases the tantalizing possibility of restoring her mobility, a chance to dance again. Yet, the price of this gift is steep, its repercussions casting a devastating shadow over those she holds dear. Eva is thrust into a chilling dilemma: to rid herself of the mystical box and its perilous powers or embrace the chance to walk again, even at the cost of spreading death and despair around her. In the countdown to Christmas, Eva's journey becomes a tightrope walk between desire and morality, testing her courage and resolve. The Advent Calendar is a chilling tale of how far one might go for personal gain, when each step forward might mean a step back for those around them.
