The Overcoat (2017)

Original title in Estonian: Talvelugu

On the basis of "The Overcoat" by Nikolai Gogol

It’s Christmas eve in New York, 1932. Alexi, a large old Russian man, arrives home to find that his young granddaughter has decided to stay up late in the hopes of getting her present early from Santa. Feeling a bit homesick, he sits down with her in front of the open fire and they begin to talk. When she asks about Santa, Alexi gets her to close her eyes and gives her his big old coat as a “present”. But when she complains about the smell he starts telling a story… The story brings us back to the beautiful city ...
