Carolers and tinsel; the perfect setting for Christmas Eve in a snowy mountain village. But when a body is discovered, dressed as Santa, the hysteria soon spreads and accusations fly. The first film produced by German controlled Continental Films, who regulated film production under the Occupation, this is more than a fireside mystery for a chilly night... a parable for collaboration, subversively [portraying] a perilous moment in French history. – L’Alliance
