Chueco’s Christmas (2023)
Chueco is thrilled: it's finally Christmas, his favorite time of the year! But his excitement is shattered when Juan informs him that they don't celebrate Christmas, and even Santa Claus knows he doesn't need to visit their house. Amanda explains to an astonished Chueco that the Christmas spirit disappeared from the Gustozzis' hearts when Lorena passed away. Chueco can't simply do nothing: he decides to arrange shock therapy to help bring back their Christmas spirit. He decorates the house with Christmas ornaments and calls Santa Claus himself to bring presents to the house, but it's all to no avail. What Chueco wouldn't have suspected is that Amanda is his best ally to bring back the spirit of Christmas.

Reviews
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
