A pizza delivery boy teams up with his community to save Christmas after an exhausted Santa Claus named Marcel gets into a scooter accident.
On the evening of 24 December, somewhere in a drab suburb, young Abdou –a dreamy pizza delivery boy –meets the real Santa Claus, whose name is Marcel. The old man is worn out and weary, and a silly scooter accident threatens to derail his delivery run. Thanks to Abdou, who enlists the help of a few eccentric characters from the neighbourhood, the deliveries go ahead after all. Amidst the chaotic mayhem, Christmas is saved through music and song!
"A quirky little Christmas gem that surpasses everything done so far in terms of originality within the genre."
