THIS YEAR, YOU SHOULD BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS…
OR IT WILL KILL YOU.
As a child, Harry surprises his mother having sex with Santa Claus. This vision will haunt him all his life. Thirty years later, Harry works in a toy factory and his entire existence revolves around Santa Claus. He wishes to embody the innocence that this figure represents in his eyes, but times have changed and cynicism reigns supreme. Harry will then put on his costume and distribute the gifts himself... or the punishments...

The scenario writer Lewis Jackson signs a film of psychological horror doubled with a pamphlet against the consumer society where excels the actor Brandon Maggart ( The World according to Garp ).
