What it’s about

• The movie follows Charles Dickens in 1843 as he battles writer’s block and money problems while racing to write and self‑publish “A Christmas Carol” before Christmas.

• As he writes, characters like Ebenezer Scrooge appear to him as if they’re real, blending his imagination, childhood trauma, and Victorian London into a whimsical origin story for the classic novella.

• The film is adapted from Les Standiford’s non‑fiction book about how “A Christmas Carol” helped revive Dickens’ career and shaped many modern Christmas traditions.
