This theatrical work, part of a series that addresses the consequences of alcohol abuse, focuses on the struggles of a poor family during the Christmas season. The play aims to highlight the impact of alcoholism on personal relationships and the broader community, likely aiming to promote sobriety and a sense of social responsibility.
