Placido
Descriptive sheet:
Synopsis: In a small provincial town, the authorities launch a peculiar Christmas campaign in which the wealthiest families must host a person without resources at their Christmas Eve dinner. At the same time, a humble worker hired to participate with his motorized cart in the parade struggles desperately to get the money needed to pay a promissory note due that very night. Between satire and tenderness, the story portrays the social and moral contradictions of the era.
