‘The Tale of a Santa and his Moth’ is the story of a bisexual widower and his ailing daughter who asks for an Almond cake on Christmas. The father 'Pedro' played by Bollywood actor Pawan Chopra, was once a fancy character player at people's parties and now has no other choice than to stay at home and take care of his daughter played by Usha Banerjee. The film also comments on the personification of Rudolph reindeer (associated with Christmas) and its journey to a world that is peaceful and has enough for self-introspection.
