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...

Our intro is an actual introduction to our primary character and her daily routine. We rather suddenly have an ominous gift, and images that are hard to describe of something?. Some disgusting behavior from an unworthy individual, and some truly beautiful spooky shenanigans. Things are happening that are quite unexplainable, but her gift seems to be at the center of all the weirdness and still delicious moments of the film. If you could, would you, should you, or do you dare wish the good and even the bad.
