What is it about?
Last Stop Christmas is a pitch-black, quirky Christmas comedy about the deeper meaning and purpose of the festival of love.
Former boxer and Christmas grump Elvis only learns indirectly that there are more important things in life than luxury watches and that true love is worth more than all the material goods in this world.
Two Russian Mafiosi, a God-fearing Muslim, a madman who has escaped from an institution and a drunken and kleptomaniac retired couple lead him onto the right path.
And in the end, he trades his new luxury watch - a Christmas present he gave himself - for a bottle of liquor and true love.
A fast-paced Christmas fairy tale that will make you smile and cleverly reminds you, without pointing the finger, what Christmas is really about.
