The Advent Calendar
Will you live until Christmas this year?
Directed by Patrick Ridremont
Produced by Sombrero Films, Siddhi Films
A dark supernatural thriller that weaponizes Christmas nostalgia, forcing its protagonist into a morally corrosive bargain between personal restoration and collateral harm.
Eva, an ex-dancer, is now living in a wheelchair, unable to walk. When her friend Sophie gives her an old wooden antique advent calendar before Christmas, she realizes each window contains a surprise that triggers repercussions in real life: some of them good, but most of them bad... Now Eva will have to choose between getting rid of the calendar or walking again… even if it causes death around her.
