Three brothers and their wives meet on December 1st in a solitary cottage to hear the Will of their recently deceased father. The Will announces that the fortune will be paid if the six spend the 24 days of the Christmas month together in the cottage. This bizarre wish has to be seen in the light of the brother’s deep aversion toward each other. But motivated by the money they all agree on giving it a try. Now a drama of life and death begins. It is all about keeping peace and staying together at any cost, until Christmas Eve. The framework is clear: A Danish family, that hates one another, is caught in an old Germanic cottage faaaar out in the woods, where they will all have to remember the commandments of Christmas. A modern Danish family drama in 24 episodes in the line of Panduro goes Python goes Disney goes Dennis Potter!
