What Happens

A man brutally murders a snowman and then stomps on presents. He then tackles one of those bell-ringers and beat him to death. There are a “Gossip” and a “Sinner” in medieval stocks wearing pig masks. The politician gets an even worse fate. The Gossip, one of the guys in the stocks, starts to torment the other, the Sinner,  in the only he can in the current situation. 

The torturer eventually comes over and releases the Sinner. What’s he going to do for revenge?

Commentary

The Bells! No, not the bells!

It’s well-filmed and shot in an interesting way. We don’t really know why any of this is happening, but only one of them is having any fun. 

I will point out that the credits at the end have the hardest-to-read-font I’ve ever seen. I think maybe there was a director and writer for this, but…. I just can’t. Oh, and there is a scene after the credits.
