Ho Ho Ho

Synopsis

A poignant comedy drama following a small boy's determined attempts to reaffirm his belief in Santa Claus. His efforts gradually reveal to each member of the family that their own lives are as fragile as his world of make-believe. The film sensitively portrays conflict in families and the strain of Christmas, and explores why many people tell cruel truths and kind lies.
