THE THREE WISE MEN VS SANTA
O.V. in Spanish
Paco Caballero (Amor de Madre, Donde caben dos) directs what will be the Christmas comedy of 2022. The Three Wise Men, fed up with Santa Claus taking the limelight away from them, have decided to declare war on him. A confrontation that, unintentionally, will awaken a much more dangerous common enemy, the Krampus, who had been dormant for centuries. A film that will make us regain the excitement for Christmas, with a cast that includes Karra Elejalde, David Verdaguer and Matías Janick as their Majesties from the East, Andrés Almeida as Santa Claus along with Adal Ramones, Eva Ugarte and Isa Montalbán.
