In the Mouse Kingdom

When the lineup announces a contest for New Year's productions, Bazhena understands – this is her chance. She has dreamed of becoming a theater director her whole life, and no one deserves it more. But her candidacy is also put forward by the cold and unsociable Felix. The prize is a letter of recommendation that will make it much easier to get into university. She is a self-confident upstart, obsessed with her dream. He is a scion of an influential theatrical dynasty. Both are eager for victory, and both... "do not fit the format." That is how the organizers of the contest respond when the protagonists send them their scripts. Now, to have even a chance of winning, Bazhena and Felix have only one thing left to do – unite and stage "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by Ernst Hoffmann. Together. As co-directors. The newly minted partners have too much ahead of them: not to quarrel for at least a day, prepare a new script, deal with willful actors and… remember what a "New Year's fairy tale" is.
