Christmas is approaching and, as always, Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey) maintains his contempt for the date. Millionaire and very petty, he only thinks about money and doesn't give space to the emotion in his heart, mistreating Bob Cratchit (Gary Oldman), his faithful assistant, and ignoring his nephew Fred (Colin Firth). With the death of his partner, Ebenezer is visited by three ghosts of Christmas: past, present and future. Each of them will take the grumpy old man on a journey that will help him to better reflect on his past life and the choice he will make for the future.
