The story revolves around a Basque Roman Catholic priest dedicated to committing as many sins as possible, a death metal salesman from Carabanchel, and the Italian host of a TV show on the occult. These go on a literal "trip" through Christmas-time Madrid to hunt for and prevent the reincarnation of the Antichrist.
Editor's Verdict
"The plot is explicitly centered around hunting the Antichrist during 'Christmas-time Madrid.' The narrative structure relies entirely on the Christmas setting to drive the central conflict (preventing the Antichrist's birth on Christmas Eve/Day). This establishes strong connections across setting, plot, and resolution, qualifying it as a Christmas movie despite its unusual horror/action genre."
