‘SNOWS OF YESTERYEAR’ SPECIAL
At the Paris office of a telephone helpline for depressed people on Christmas Eve Thérèse and Pierre are on duty. They try to listen to the lonely callers’ sorrows and to help. It’s not prohibited however to let them come by in person. When they make an exception to this rule, a turbulent night begins in which an irascible Santa Claus brings no gifts, but only problems. Even the Bulgarian neighbour with his traditional pastries doesn’t help much.
