What is the story?

One snowy Christmas Eve, at a great townhouse where a party is in full swing, local magician Herr Drosselmeyer arrives with gifts for the children, including a wooden nutcracker for Marie, the oldest child. When the clock strikes twelve an adventure begins and the Nutcracker comes to life, leading our heroine on a grand coming of age journey into adulthood and romance. Together with her Nutcracker Prince she travels to another magical world, gets caught up in war between mice and tin soldiers, and is welcomed in the enchanted Land of Sweets where a festival awaits.
