What a great way to spend time during the holidays: 5 holiday movie masterpieces that are not like the usual Christmas fairy tales
The New Year holidays have officially started. And if your plans for the New Year include a festive dinner and an evening in a pleasant company, you might want to think about a suitable movie program. SSPDaily tells about it.
"The only question is," writes Today, "what kind of movies do you want to celebrate the New Year with and do you want something new, apart from the usual Christmas fairy tales? Here are 5 films that somehow intersect with the theme of the holiday, but are also deeply dramatic and thought-provoking."
Royal New Year's Eve 2017
Caitlin has always dreamed of becoming a famous designer. But so far she hasn't had the opportunity to showcase her talent. At the upcoming gala ball, the girl will become an assistant organizer, who will be given the great honor of making preparations for the reception of Prince Jeffrey. The man plans to marry the beautiful Isabelle, but fate has its own plans for the heroes.
Perhaps this holiday will be a long-awaited chance for Caitlin to prove herself and find the true happiness she has always sought.
