Cette fois, le court métrage distille de précieux conseils aux personnes susceptibles de s’approcher de ces pères Noël avides de chair fraîche. À la suite d’un terrible accident ayant fait de nombreuses victimes, les trois employés décident d’instaurer des consignes de sécurité face à cette espèce difficilement apprivoisable. Leur mission est de garantir la sécurité des personnes chargées de réceptionner les colis dans lesquels sont enfermés les pères Noël. Ainsi, pour maintenir ces hommes primitifs hors de danger, il faut éviter de faire du bruit, s’abstenir de fumer, les distraire en leur donnant des biscuits au gingembre et ne pas consommer d’alcool.

Martta (Sanna-Kaisa Palo) and Otto (Heikki Kinnunen) are a pair of traveling tailors who claim to be bastard descendents of the Romanovs and wander from town to town in Finland seeking work, accompanied by their two half-witted adult sons, Hippo (Tuomas Uusitalo), Repe (Tatu Siivonen) and equally silly son-in-law Ventti (Toni Wahlstrom). The family occasionally turns to crime when they can't quite make ends meet, and the boys begin turning to violence with greater frequency when Otto weakens and Martta becomes the head of the family business. Their fortunes take an unexpected turn when the brothers assault and abduct a man they call Kaspar (Samuli Vauramo), who becomes the family's sidekick in their travels. Despite Kaspar's inability to speak, he attracts Martha's youngest daughter, an attractive young woman named Lara (Jenni Banerjee), but the family is in disarray when a long-lost half-brother, Laszlo (Peter Franzen), suddenly re-emerges and tries to wrest control of the clan away from his mother.

Set in a French Foreign Legion Camp circa 1954, the film follows the fantasies of a British Captain, desperately missing his home and wife. The captain is caught in an embarrassing situation caused by a combination of the monotonous, hot dreary surroundings, not grasping the workings of the Foreign Legion, and his smoldering desire created by his wife's lustful love letters, all of which is befuddled by his use of drugs.
