"When The Star Shines..." is a short film that explores, with humor and emotion, the various ways people connect with the Christmas spirit. Between unexpected encounters, personal challenges, and reflections on the meaning of the season, the story reveals that, even when all seems lost, there is always room for reunions, hope, and magic.
