Synopsis
Elena Quince and Michael Dancer are heavily indebted newlyweds. Their boss, Gabriel Boniface, comes to tender Christmas greetings and offer them a large sum of money. On accepting the offer, the young couple are forced to fulfill his demands, which are designed to humiliate them. To escape the torment they feel, they kill their guest. At this moment Michael's parents, Carlo and Rosalia, come to bring Christmas.
When the parents learn that the couple killed Boniface, they first want to hide Helen and Michael, but then start thinking about their own wellbeing and decide to call the police. But when Boniface, whole and healthy, leaves the refrigerator where the murderers had hidden his dismembered body it becomes clear that he's alive. It turns out that Boniface is not the owner of a consortium, but an angel.
