"There's a dead Santa Claus in our chimney" is one of those sentences you definitely don't want to hear during the holidays. Unless, of course, you're Angela Merkel and are delighted by unexplained deaths in your hometown in the Uckermark region. After a disastrous vacation with the Obamas, the Merkel couple returns home on Christmas Eve to find the aforementioned dead Santa Claus in their half-timbered house. The man turns out to be a professional Santa Claus. Suspicion falls on four rival Santas and Mrs. Clauses, who also deliver gifts to the residents of the tranquil town. And one of them even believes he's the real Santa Claus. biography David Safier, born in 1966, became known for writing the screenplays for the hit television series 'Berlin, Berlin', 'Nikola', 'Mein Leben und Ich', and 'Zwei Engel für Amor'.
