The enchanting village of Gladbury lies deep in the heart of the English countryside, however it is no ordinary English village for legend has it that every 25 years an angel visits the village candle maker and touches a single candle in the Chandlers.
Furthermore, whoever lights the blessed candle
receives a miracle on Christmas Eve.
At the dawn of the electric age however in 1890,
the centuries old legend might have run its course and come to an end.
Especially when David Richmond (Hans Matheson), a
progressive young minister, arrives in Gladbury.
The villagers discover that he preaches about a
different kind of miracles, and his formula consists of good deeds and acts of
kindness.
However, David's quest to modernize Gladbury sets
him at odds with the old-world Chandler Edward Haddington (Sylvester McCoy) but
he finds an unlikely ally in the lovely sceptic, Emily Barstow (Samantha
Barks).
David also tries to replace the candles in the
church with electric light but things go amiss while the Chandlers wife Bea
Haddington (Lesley Manville) is unable to find the Christmas Candle.
So when the candle maker fights to preserve the
legacy of the Christmas Candle and David Richmond tries to embrace
modernization, the miraculous and human collide in the most astonishing
Christmas the village of Gladbury have ever witnessed.
