On Christmas Eve, Dejair, a former resistance fighter against the military dictatorship, gathers with his family in the backyard. During a Secret Santa game, the contrast between appearances and private truths emerges. A water gun gift leads Dejair to denounce the absurdity of giving a child a weapon.
