Winky (Ebbie Tam) and her mother (Hanyi Han) have recently traveled from China to the Netherlands in order to meet up with Winky's father (Aaron Wan). The move is not entirely a smooth one, as Winky has to learn to speak Dutch while also experiencing some culture shock due to the differences between the two countries. She finds some solace with her neighbors Oom Siem (Jan Decleir) and Tante Cor (Betty Schuurman), as they own an old horse that Winky instantly adores. However when her beloved horse dies, Winky is heartbroken and decides that she must have another horse in her life - even if she must appeal to St. Nicholas (also played by Decleir) to accomplish this.
