The Christmas fever of the December time starts with the arrival of an unusual Santa to the city. It will be a storm of exceptional events.

A cat lover, Jesus leaving the cross and Christmas carollers holding pitchforks are set against a snowy and icy scenery. ‘Zima’, a psychodelic journey to a small fishing village, collects as if in a lens the behaviour, customs and vices of the Polish provinces. In this small community, different views, the behaviour of people and animals and their mutual relations clash like ice floes on a lake. Maintained in the convention of magic realism, this animation is like a horror playing out to the accompaniment of barking dogs and a punk metal music score.

The story of Piotr Leyer, a lawyer who, through a tragic twist of fate, becomes the head of a criminal gang. 

Rising police talent Karolina delves deep to uncover her missing ex-cop father's fate, stumbling upon treacherous family shadows and a corrupt police scheme. As she battles against toxic masculinity, shocking revelations about her father emerge.

The heroes fight in the seemingly idyllic setting of the Karkonosze Mountains, against which the international drug trade takes place. Who will support the nameless avenger and who will stand behind the demonic boss of the local mafia? It's only a seemingly simple matter.
