The mall is designed to disorient. On a journey to find the photogenic Santa and his underpaid elves, a helpless shopper has to dodge barking kiosk attendants, avoid making eye contact with the jumpy security guard looking for an excuse to keep busy and cover innocent eyes while passing vibrant displays of holiday lingerie.
