Description: “Last Christmas 2019” is a heartwarming tale of Katarina “Kate” Andrich, a young aspiring singer stuck in a monotonous job as an elf at a year-round Christmas shop in Central London. After being forced out by her flatmate, Kate becomes homeless. During work, she encounters a mysterious man named Tom, who captures her interest with his unique perspective on life.
Despite a failed singing audition, Kate continues to cross paths with Tom. Their interactions lead her to explore London in new ways, though she struggles with feelings of suffocation from her overbearing mother, Petra, and strained relationships with her sister, Marta, a successful lawyer.
As Kate spends more time with Tom, who volunteers at a homeless shelter and lives a modest life, she begins to reassess her own priorities. She starts helping at the shelter, hoping to reconnect with him, only to discover he remains elusive.
During a family celebration, Kate impulsively reveals Marta’s sexuality, causing tension. Later, she opens up to Tom about her past health struggles, including a life-saving heart transplant. However, their connection takes an unexpected turn when Tom declines her advances, leaving Kate confused.
Inspired by her time with Tom, Kate takes steps to improve her life—mending relationships, sharing her talent, and contributing to the shelter. “Last Christmas” is a story of self-discovery, compassion, and the power of human connection.
