Expose the ugliness of human nature

On Christmas Eve, a wealthy family is busy preparing for Christmas. It was snowing outside the window, and the house welcomed her daughter's return from college. The family basks in the spirit of a pre-Christmas reunion. At this time, everyone thought that the father, the head of the family, hadn't woken up yet, but when he opened the door, he actually died on the bed with a knife stuck behind his back.

Everyone panicked, but when they tried to call the police, they found that the telephone line had been cut long ago; the car had been vandalized and could not be driven to the police station. Obviously, the murderer is among the 8 people. Mutual suspicion and accusations began, and everyone's unknown secrets were exposed one by one. The subversion of ethics and morality, and the nature of greed and selfishness made this Christmas Eve particularly chaotic. Ironically, it doesn't matter who is the murderer in the end...

A lie exposed the secret emotions of eight women around a man one by one, and eventually he really died because he couldn't bear it. The color of the film is strong and clear, the singing and dancing add infinite charm, and there are all kinds of reversal scenes. When you finally despair of the selfishness and ugliness of human nature, they sing in unison. The most beautiful thing is love, revealing infinite absurdity and irony.
