When Santa Was a Communist is a dark comedy that tells a story about an acting troupe that tries to bring holiday joy in a post-war, religiously divided country by putting on a Santa Claus show. The only thing is, the Santa their country knew, loved and celebrated before the war was a communist. This film leans on a true story, when several years ago a big debate broke out about banning Santa Claus in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It tells the story of a group of actors who go deep into provinces with a play for kids about Santa Claus. Kids are overjoyed, but grownups are not. The team must face bans because of ethnic and religious prejudices between Catholics and Muslims living and governing in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
