Little Birta (Kristín Erla Pétursdóttir) overhears a phone call from her mother (Salka Sól Eyfeld), in which she tells her that the family's Christmas will have to be cancelled this year due to financial problems. But the ambitious Birta doesn't want to accept that so easily. And so she decides without further ado to raise money herself - but that's not so easy when you're only eleven years old.
