    On this face of it, this is actually a rather abstract looking short animation drawn in a rapidly altering style with black ink moving, almost smudging at times, from shape to shape. Some of the images seem more random, some of them more distinguishable and aided by a sparing narrative, it soon becomes clear that the purpose here is to illustrate the unsavoury trade in body parts. A sort of slice and spend - for a bed, a chair, food or even freedom. Curiously compelling for less than four minutes!

The Night Before Christmas

A narrator sings the opening stanzas of the classic poem while we see the house at rest. Santa lands on the roof, comes down the chimney, and opens his bag. The toys march out and decorate the tree, with the toy soldiers shooting balls from their cannon, a toy airplane stringing a garland like skywriting, and the toy firemen applying snow. A blimp delivers the star to the top. Meanwhile, Santa fills the stockings. His laughter awakens the children, who sneak out. The toys rush to their places, and Santa escapes up the chimney just in time.
