"Instead of a happy family Christmas party, Bourne’s Nutcracker! starts off in a bleak orphanage that seems more like a prison. Clara, an unhappy resident, is with the other children subjected to the taunting of Sugar and Fritz, the children of the owners, watching them open presents in front of the orphans but neglecting to share. Clara finds a nutcracker doll in the box of toys given as charity, though Sugar breaks it in a jealous fit. While the other orphans fix the doll, all the toys are taken away by the owners, causing Clara to steal the keys to get her Nutcracker back. Sugar catches on and tries to stop her, only to run when a life sized doll appears instead. The owners and the orphans get into a battle, after which the Nutcracker, now a handsome man, is stolen away by Sugar as they head into Sweetieland...." [RESPECT].
