A man thinks he has won the lottery but finds out that his wife exchanged his ticket for a raffle ticket whose prize is a living lamb, which she wins. Their children become attached to the animal and thus they don't have the nerve to kill it. The lamb is stolen and they search for it.
While this dramatic comedy isn't badly directed, and has nice production values, somehow the result is considerably dull; some of its comic ideas are just not funny, e.g. the vegetarian slaughterhouse worker, and some sequences border on incomprehensibility, e.g. the soldier's dream. Overall, a majorly flawed film. An important note: some sites say this film's international English title is Happy Easter. That title would be completely wrong! The story develops at Christmastime, and Felices Pascuas, at the time of the film's release, meant Merry Christmas. This article explains this in detail.
