Synopsis
In a quiet Irish town, anticipation of the upcoming holidays is growing. Christmas trees are being cut down, colorful lights and garlands decorate the gutters, and festive music can be heard everywhere. What is the most wonderful time of the year for some is particularly difficult for others. Five households tell of the rarely discussed but nevertheless real experience of not being happy at Christmas — whether it is about meeting the Christmas expenses, overcoming loneliness, dealing with the amount of food, or enduring grief. Behind the facade of tinsel and festivity, the film explores the deeper connections that arise when expectations and reality collide. What emerges is a portrait of society full of humor, tragedy and the question of the meaning of Christmas.
