It's Christmas in a small village in the Pyrenees. Olentzero is a beloved character who represents the Christmas spirit and distributes gifts to children. He has already received all the letters from the children in the valley and is watching their behavior through the "magic log" burning in his fireplace. An evil businessman has arrived in the village and wants to cut down the forest to build a ski resort. He steals Olentzero's "magic log" and all the letters, putting the children's gifts in jeopardy. Anjé, a young charcoal burner, is tasked with setting things right. With the help of the other children in the village, they will go through endless adventures and dangers until normality returns to the valley and Christmas can continue as usual.

One of the reasons I love watching movies is that, much like books, they serve as windows into other times and different places. Productions from around the world offer valuable insights into the history and culture of their respective countries. And just like literature, cinema can help us understand the present by showing us the past.
Praising Black representation and condemning the power structures that suppress it, a mother delivers an impassioned speech to her distant son.
A throwback to the last months of the 20th century in this comedy film.
