THE HOLLY AND THE IVY
"A heartwarming tale of an English minister and his family reunited at Christmas time."
As promised "A tragic secret tears a family apart" and,
as is to be expected of all "heartwarming" tales,
in the course of film time,
all is reconciled.
More here than simple dramatic narrative, there are moments of magical realism, and a generous sprinkle of humor as each character transforms into their better angel, and the bells ring out
Peace on earth.
