Chile's chaotic sock puppets crash-land into Christmas with zero budget and maximum sweating.
Tulio is forced by Sr. Manguera to put on a Christmas show, so he and the rest of the team put one together in record time. While Tulio discovers the true wrerwriwro of Christmas, Bodoque is in charge of going to look for the gifts, avoiding being tempted by Tío Pelado to bet on horse races.

Gloriously janky puppets with more soul than CGI.
