The story
The film is set to the Nocturne from Borodin's String Quartet #2. During Christmas in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in pre-Revolution times, an impoverished girl tries to sell matchsticks on the streets, but every potential customer refuses. Later that night, the girl huddles in a snowy alley, trying to warm herself against the cold.
