New York City
It’s Christmas Eve and the cold and hungry homeless street dwellers huddle together, struggling to keep warm. Unable to find suitable material to sustain a fire, they resort to burning books. As the fire grows, they stumble across a copy of Charles Dickens’ classic book A Christmas Carol. Despite their desperate means, and having every reason not to feel festive during the cold winter, they decide to celebrate the spirit of the holidays by acting out the story.
