It is Christmas Eve and the family are decorating the huge tree set up inthe salon. The guests arrive one after the other and the exchanging of gifts begins. There are lots of nice toys, fairy tale figures and puppets under the tree. Drosselmeyer, the children’s godfather, presents Marie with a nutcracker puppet. After the excitement of the evening the little girl goes to sleep with her new toy. In her dream the images of recent events, the puppets and toys come to life, the room is inhabited by mice and they start to plunder the tree. The series of adventures begins. Later, Prince Nutcracker happily greets Marie, who in the meantime has grown into a beautiful young lady – Princess Marie. The sometimes frightening and other times wonderful dreams of the little girl are presented in the story.
