The internationally renowned scientist, Don Fernando Salazar, returns to his hometown with his daughter to launch his most ambitious project: the construction of a hydroelectric power plant. This will cause a series of tensions among the inhabitants of the small village, especially between an old charcoal burner and the scientist. The small village nestled in the Pyrenees will experience a series of extraordinary events following the intervention of a mysterious and magical character, Olentzero, who, together with the charcoal burner's grandson, will star in an adventure they will never forget.
