This short film from 2016 was inspired by Polish folklore. A Crystal Carol tells the story of a poor tramp who is all alone in a wartime city. When all hope seems lost, he meets an angelic girl dancing through the empty streets. She might turn out to be a Dola, a legendary guardian angel. But she is not the only mythical creature stalking the streets that night. The Dola and the tramp will have to protect each other from the cruelty of depending war as well as a demonic witch.
The film is a hybrid of live-action and animation. It brings to life a delightful winter tale.
