Gustafsson’s Jul

A magical Christmas in snowy Sweden

“The painting was once again hanging in the hallway, in the exact same spot where he had hung it up all those years ago. She had passed away three months later. After that, he could no longer bear to look at it, but now it warmed his heart. It made Carl-Johann feel something he could not really explain…”

Ten years ago, Carl-Johann Gustafsson (81) withdrew from his family, but now he would like this to change. He wants to celebrate Christmas with his family on his estate, just like he had done in the past. His children and grandchildren reluctantly accept the invitation. They have not been close for years, but nobody wants to miss anything. Besides, they might learn about how their inheritance is going to be divided… Things do not turn out the way anyone expects, but fortunately, the heart of the household, Alfred the servant, is pulling the strings. And Santa Claus is also sneaking around the house, which can only help things on Christmas.
