In 1843, despite the fact that Dickens is a successful writer, the failure of his latest book puts his career at a crossroads, until the moment when, struggling with inspiration and confronting reality with his childhood memories, a new character is born in the depths of his troubled mind; an old, lonely, embittered man, so vivid, so human, that a whole world grows around him, a story so inspiring that changed the meaning of Christmas forever.
The Man Who Invented Christmas is a 2017 drama-comedy that explores Charles Dickens' creative struggle to write A Christmas Carol. Released in October 2017, the film chronicles how Dickens drew from his own memories and imagination to create one of literature's most beloved holiday stories.
