Jeanne Herviale

Themroc, a bachelor house painter living at home with his mother, leads a sad and colorless life. One day, after a run-in with his boss, he rebels. He wrecks his apartment, rejects every facet of bourgeois life, and begins acting like an urban, modern-day Neanderthal.

In this Christmas classic from France, Santa Claus must secretly rescue hostages with the trusty help of child soldiers, a fairy princess and an ogre.
