1000 Miles From Christmas is a comedy that tells the story of Raúl (Tamar Novas), a thirty-something who has suffered all the misfortunes of his life during Christmas time. This is the reason why he really hates Christmas Carols, the Three Wise Men and everything that remotely smells of Christmas spirit. Every year he spends Christmas time on a far-away beach... but this year his boss has different plans for him: Raúl must attend a business trip to audit a "turrones de Valverde" factory, the most typical Christmas sweet in a town that lives for and loves Christmas. And if this was not enough for Raúl, he will have to share accommodation with local teacher Paula, whose dream is beating the world record of the largest real live nativity scene ever created. Will this Madrilian Grinch be able to overcome his worst nightmare?

Goose R. @rodrigug Dec 26 Raul is a Christmas hating auditor who is sent , just before Christmas to a town to audit a Christmas sweets factory in a little town in Spain. There she meets Paula, the town jack of all trades, including the organizer of the living nativity scene. Things get complicated when Raul finds errors on the factory which is the main job supply of the town. This movie is actually really funny and different, I have never seen a Christmas auditor movie before 😹 🍿🍿🍿🍿/5 on Netflix See more Arancha Á @RT49956055 Sep 12 An absolute must see if you're into Christmas movies!

See more John B @RT17595747 12/12/2022 It was a good Christmas movie overall as it had its funny moments, but also seemed to drag in other places, but the main characters were likable except for scrooge which changes as it goes on.
