Plot
The film Letters to Santa portrays lost characters who discover that what happened to them is love. On this special day of the year, five women and five men are finding out that there is no escape from love and Christmas.
Doris - A female around 30 years of age. What is most important to her is a loving family. She is not yet married and often wakes up alone in the morning, but this fact has not turned her into a desperate lady hanging on the arm of every encountered guy. She still believes that there's her second half waiting for her somewhere in this big city, and that true love can happen for her.
Mikołaj - A romantic male who is known for seducing women, mainly on air. In real life, it all looks a bit different. His greatest asset is his specific sense of humor and a deep male voice, stimulating the imagination of listeners who absolutely love it.
Wladi - many men would like to have his pugnacity and light approach to life. His charm and magic air works for women as an aphrodisiac. He can surprise with an unusual proposition, and in restaurants always foots the bill. It's just that no woman yet has succeeded to ensnare him. Will he finally find someone who discovers the key to his heart?
Melchior vel Mel Gibson - A testosterone ebullient amateur and admirer of feminine beauty. As hardly anyone works in Ars Amandi. This arrogant, handsome Don Juan is able to seduce with a single glance. The question remains if his narcissistic tendencies allow him to create a lasting relationship?
Szczepan - A busy psychologist who, like Dirty Harry, rushes to the rescue of the whole World. One day something happens that will destroy his peace of mind and bring him to a boil. What can he do? The excitement reach its zenith.
Karina - Szczepan's wife, very energetic, believes that love is like air and should be at your fingertips.
