Murphy Vs Christmas is a darkly satirical yet heartfelt drama set in contemporary Dublin. When avant-garde artist Eoin Murphy tells his six-year-old daughter that Santa Claus isn’t real, her distress sparks controversy. Outraged by a teacher’s attempt to preserve the myth, Eoin launches a public campaign, triggering backlash and a failed court battle that leaves him facing prison. As his crusade isolates him from family and society, he is forced to question whether truth alone is enough.
