Motherless Céline writes a letter to Santa Claus asking her father to pick her up from hospital and take her home for good. Her letter ends up with the good-natured Marlène, who has a special heart for children. The loving Marlène finds ways and means to make more than just Céline happy. Marlène works for the first time for the office where all the letters that children write to Santa Claus end up.
