A comedic, redemptive riff on A Christmas Carol set in 19th-century Rome, where a greedy social climber undergoes magical transformation and learns the value of character over wealth.

In 19th-century Papal Rome, Bartolomeo is a wealthy and greedy parvenu who craves a noble title. While trying to raise the money he needs to strike a deal with a prince for the hand of his daughter, he'll find himself caught in a magical journey between past, present and future. Assisted by some rather illustrious companions, he'll have to come to terms with whom he really is and give his life a new meaning.
