Thirteen-year-old Jendrik is seriously annoyed - by his parents, by his little sister, and by the hassle of constantly having to do tedious household chores. Just as he is taking out the stinky trash, he encounters the next person who seems determined to make his life even harder: a complete stranger sitting in the shed, claiming to be Santa Claus - just what Jendrik needed! But there's no way around it: if he wants to get rid of the strange old man, he will have to help him. A Christmas story for grumpy brothers, lively sisters, and parents who should really take out the trash themselves - it might be worth it. Lovingly, charmingly, and with a wink - allow me to introduce Gary Claus.
