The Twelve Months
The Twelve Months is a 1973 Soviet Lenfilm fantasy film directed by Anatoliy Granik based on the play by Samuil Marshak adapted from the fairy tale with the same name.
Plot
An orphaned young girl lives with her indifferent stepmother, who treats her like a servant, and her spoiled stepsister. On New Year's Eve, the stepmother and stepsister send the girl into the forest to gather firewood. While in the woods, strange things begin to happen—animals start talking and playing like humans. A kind old soldier, whom the girl had befriended earlier, explains that miracles often occur on this day. He shares a family tale of his ancestor meeting the Twelve Months during a New Year's celebration.
