About the film

The Goss family is going through a difficult time. Everyone has their own struggles, misunderstandings are growing, and the warmth that once filled their home is slowly fading. When the mother falls into a coma and is hospitalized, teenager Ella and her grandfather Sander must take care of the family. Their lives soon take an unexpected turn with the arrival of a little puppy named Ruby. Meanwhile, their loyal dog Winstead does everything he can to help bring the family back together and restore the Christmas spirit.

Editorial review

A family Christmas comedy with cute four-legged characters, familiar actors, and a story about family relationships. The film has its drawbacks, but it gives a cozy festive atmosphere and is suitable for easy evening viewing.
