La Cuisine des anges

Here's a Yuletide tale that's darker than the usual Christmas fare. Three escapees from Devil's Island arrive in a French colonial town and, hiding out, find themselves helping a family in need. It's not exactly It's a Wonderful Life, but the movie does offer some redemption, of a sort.
