Letter To Santa Through the frosted window we get inside a kid’s room. It is cosily decorated for Christmas. A kid sits at the table writing a letter to Father Frost while we can hear the text as a voiceover. VO (kid in Russian): Dear, Uncle Frost! We can see the pictures and drawings of the bicycle hanging on the wall. There is a toy bear with a plaster cast and a hamster in a hutch on the dresser. The last drawing depicts a boy receiving a bike from Father Frost. Clearly the boy is obsessed with bicycles. VO (kid in Russian): I really-really want a bicycle... We are inside the Father Frost’s workshop now. Through the frosted and decorated window we can see Father Frost sitting behind his desk. VO (kid in Russian): All my friends already have it... He is sitting behind the desk at his workshop and is reading boys letter. The workshop around him is dark and magical and full of different gifts. Back to the boy’s room. He thinks for a moment and continues to write. VO (kid in Russian): Beside me... Father Frost smiles. He is definitely touched. VO (kid in Russian): ...I’ve been very good for mommy and daddy. Father Frost finishes reading the letter and stamps it as “good behaviour”. VO (kid in Russian): And behaved all year long. Father Frost starts working at his workshop. He hammers the hot iron and we see that it is going to be a bike’s handlebar. Then he paints the bike. VO (kid in Russian): I promise I will ride with precaution and will take a good care of your gift. The bike is ready and wrapped in gift paper. Father Frost takes a proud look on his work and blows out a candle. VO (kid in Russian): Dima, 7yo. It get’s dark for a second… Door opens and Father Frost looks into the boy’s room. We see from Father Frost point of view that boy has fallen to sleep, with the bike picture in his hand. Father Frost enters the living room with lots of Christmas decorations, carrying a gift-wrapped bike in his hand. Suddenly he hears something. Light goes on in the corridor. Father Frost panics and looks for a place to hide and hides behind the Christmas tree. The shadow comes closer from the corridor. Father frost looks out from his hiding place. We see from Father Frost’s POV Santa Claus standing at the corridor door, staring at him with a surprised face, carrying the same kind of bike in his hand as Father Frost. And Santa is shocked as well. We cut back to boy writing the letter. He finishes the letter to Father Frost and puts it aside. The boy starts to write another letter to Santa Claus, asking him in English to bring him a bike. VO: (kid in English) Dear, Santa Claus! VO: (kid in English) I really-really want a bicycle... Boy smiles. VO (male): Open more possibilities for your kid with English First! EF English First Logo
