To tell you more about the story would be a crime. The film is so well made that you are drawn into the story once the first images hit the screen.
The film is well paced. I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed the movie.
Now this film is "A Christmas THEME" film but it is made for an older audience and not for children. Now children can watch but they would be bored. When this film pops up on Television watch it.
