Synopsis
The story is about Scrooge an incredible miser who thinks Christmas is a "hum-bug" -- and he takes any and every opportunity to let a bleak and dismal London know it. He is particularly harsh on his only living relative, a well-meaning nephew Fred (Colin Firth) and his sole employee, a lowly clerk named Bob Cratchit (Gary Oldman). Late on December 24th, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his dead partner Jacob Marley (Oldman again). The specter warns that he will be visited by three spirits, entities intending to take him on a journey through holidays long ago, current, and yet to be. It is here where we learn of Scrooge's hard life as a child, the miserable state of the Cratchit home (including sick son Tiny Tim), and the dark and dire destiny that faces our sour skinflint, less he repent.
