(This is Not) A Christmas Movie

Christmas is a time of getting together. Of fun and love. A time of Santa Claus and shopping for decorations. In the run-up to their annual Christmas dinner, we follow several family members in their separate failing attempts to be a good person. (This Is Not) A Christmas Movie is a black comedy ensemble film that doesn’t mean to judge anyone, but does want to hold up a distorting mirror to ourselves. It means to get a grip on the complicated times in which we now live. A time wherein everyone believes to have the answer, but no one listens. And so we end up in yet another Christmas dinner full of misunderstandings, accusations, bickering and maybe even in the escalating hostage of an attention-seeking adolescent son.
