1981: Marita Lorenz checks into an Havana hotel and, in a flashback, remembers 22 years' before. At 19, visiting Cuba from New York, she comes to the attention of Fidel Castro, the country's rebel president. He invites her to be his secretary and to be part of the making of the new Cuba. She accepts, but soon learns he already has a capable secretary; Marita's duties lie elsewhere. She becomes pregnant. She's also come to the attention of the FBI and the CIA, so when she wakes up in a US hospital after what may have been a botched abortion against her will in Cuba, her government presses her into service as an assassin: her job, to go back to Cuba and kill her former lover.

В доме Грисуолдов празднуют Рождество. Время, когда дарят подарки, звучат гимны, радостно мерцают огоньки рождественской елки… Но погодите-ка: эта елка вовсе не мерцает. Она вся в огне! Рождество — прекрасное время для Кларка Грисуолда и его семьи. Кларк — это стихийное бедствие, которое может обрушиться на вас в любой момент. Теперь Кларк хочет во что бы то ни стало устроить своей семье «самый веселый старомодный семейный праздник Рождества из всех. какие были, есть и будут». Ну и ну! В это трудно поверить, пока вы не увидите все собственными глазами. 25 000 лампочек на крыше дома Грисуолдов. Взрывающийся индюк на столе… Вот это Рождество!
