On Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him that his greed has condemned him to wander eternally. To spare him such a tragic fate, Marley announces the arrival of three spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Each will guide Scrooge on a revelatory journey, showing him the happiness he lost, the suffering he causes around him, and the loneliness that awaits him if he does not change his attitude.
