Year after year, an old Russian man and his wife watch longingly as the village children play in the snow, for they would dearly love a daughter of their own.
Then, one day, they decide to make a little snow girl. Imagine their excitement when her eyes start to shine, her hair turns black and she comes alive! But as they soon figure out, this Little Daughter of the Snow isn't quite like other children...
