Everyone needs miracles – both children and adults! The closer the New Year, the more we wait for the onset of real miracles. This is truly an amazing time when even the impossible becomes possible and it is not surprising that on this magical night we are all waiting for Santa Claus, who comes to us in his magical sleigh with a bag of gifts. But this year everything will not be so simple and in our world, in addition to Santa Claus, she also comes - Baba Frost.
The plot itself tells us the story of Baba Frost, about which we had never heard before, because on the New Year everyone first of all remembers about her husband, Santa Claus, who gives children magic and gifts. But Baba Moroz always helped adults and gave them happiness, but over time they began to forget about her, because for some reason our parents stopped believing in miracles, becoming pragmatic and boring. But this year everything will really change for the better!
Shortly before the New Year, the girl Polina and her older sister Vika suddenly learned about the existence of Baba Frost and soon something unimaginable happens. Finally, the wife of our beloved Northern Grandfather was able to feel the magical power in herself and remember her true destiny. She can give people much more than it seems, and her adventures are just beginning, because on New Year’s Eve each of us can not hurt to meet a little magic and become a little happier. And first of all, the good sorceress should help just the mother of Vicky and Polina, Anastasia, who on New Year’s Eve walks on Christmas trees in the costume of the Snow Maiden, although in fact she is a very talented actress, who for some reason is not at all lucky with roles.
For me, the film was actually fascinating and wonderful. This is the kind of movie we used to watch before the New Year and in some ways I can say that “Baba Frost” reminds me of good old Soviet fairy tales, which we are very happy to review even now. The film has a lot of beautiful scenes and the New Year in it is shown so spiritually and magically that you do not want, but really believe in Santa Claus himself, and his military wife, who has been waiting for a very long time to show herself to the world and will not miss her chance to show her strength.
And that the plot certainly did not do without intrigue and adventure, then there is also a talented scientist Lev Alexandrovich waiting for his miracle, who developed a unique formula, which he most brazenly took a cunning companion Maxim. And now he's giving someone else his name! But when such a charming “Snow Maiden” Anastasia suddenly appeared in his life, you can count on the fact that without the magic of Baba Frost, it will definitely not do here.
In the role of Baba Frost herself, I really liked the always colorful and charismatic Tatiana Orlova (Daddy’s Daughter, New Year’s Tariff, Home). She always chose roles for her energetic style and character, and she made her character truly unforgettable. In pair with her, Viktor Bychkov looks very cute and charming. His Santa Claus is somewhat reminiscent of the kindest gamekeeper Kuzmich, because he is just as resourceful and cute. So the couple came out really cool.
As a result, I will say that “Baba Frost and the mystery of the New Year” was a really great film that opens the festive film season. Most importantly, this story has the right morality, exciting adventures and real miracles. It's always in price.
