Plot
Fernand’s Christmas is the story of an extraordinary man. Despite his fragile health, every year he dons the familiar red costume to delight the children in his region. For them, he’s the real Santa Claus, and watching this film, you’ll believe, too. Supported by his family’s love and driven by his devotion to children and his community, Fernand shows us what the true spirit of Christmas is all about: having a generous heart and a passion for giving.
