SYNOPSIS

A family from Naples (Italy) is spending a “double” Christmas: during that night, they have a second baby and they name him Franceschino. They’re all happy apart from their second child Rocco, who suffers from jealousy for his newborn brother. Meanwhile, in Hell the Devil has been trying to avoid Jesus’ birth since 2000 years. He thus proposes Rocco an exchange: if he succeeds in avoiding Jesus’ birth, he’ll never have a brother.
