In a split second, lighting up the Christmas tree becomes an unpredictable adventure! Cate travels to Cloud Kingdom where she saves imprisoned Dusties and the village of the sad Water Drops. She ends up preparing snowfall for her town and shares knowledge of how snowflakes come to be in the first place.

Director’s statement
Once I was collecting different ideas for my work and before Christmas I accidentally stumbled upon a newspaper article that described in a very simple way the formation of snowflakes. This formation process immediately caught my attention. What I liked about it was that something "dirty", such as a speck
of dust, and something "clean", such as an ice crystal, are the necessary elements for the formation of snowflakes; and only then a beautiful snowflake is created.
