Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In a well-known ski resort, a couple has the brilliant idea to open a "4-legged hotel" where people can stay during the Christmas holidays in the company of their beloved pets. Trouble begins when the place is invaded by dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets and parrots (not to mention their owners!).
