During the day, Paola is an ordinary primary school teacher, but at night, she turns into… the Christmas Witch (la Befana), a magical creature who brings gifts to good children. One night, Paola disappears, kidnapped by Mr. Johnny, a cruel toy maker whose childhood was ruined by the witch and is now seeking revenge.
