Krampus
In the dark world of medieval Austria, a young child named Eike grapples with bullies and their understanding of the myth of the Krampus—the anti-Father Christmas who punishes the naughty children on the eve of St. Nicholas’ day—in a tragic exploration of what happens when a child’s distorted view of reality goes unchecked.
