O Natal do Bruno Aleixo By João Moreira and Pedro Santo

In the week leading up to Christmas, Bruno Aleixo has an accident and falls into a coma. However, the doctors are unanimous: this comatose state is psychological. Haunted by bitter memories of lousy gifts and terrible meals, he refuses to face another festive season. Will the ghosts of Christmas be able to open his heart to the joys of love and sharing?
