Martti (Hannu-Pekka Björkman), eternally in the throes of a midlife crisis, is a lonely vampire who has found a way to satisfy his endless thirst for blood. Every Christmas, dressed as Santa Claus, he invites himself into the homes of innocent families, leaving complete devastation in his wake as cheerful Christmas carols play in the background. Until one Christmas, when Martti is invited to the mansion of Johanna (Anni Iikkanen), who dreams of Gothic romance, and her family. Johanna’s and Martti’s life goals meet in the strangest of ways, but obstacles stand in the way of their common purpose: a Tappara man who cracks dad jokes (Kari Hietalahti), a questionably qualified home-care worker (Krista Kosonen), and a vengeful major (Tommi Korpela). Follow the relentless Christmas Eve chase, in which everyone gets their turn to feel it in their own skin.
