- Synopsis
- Aneta is a successful actress who wants to try directing theatre. She invites all her colleagues to help her rehearse
  an original play. It is supposed to be about how a family endures everything, even if it is sometimes difficult. She would like to set the whole play in the Christmas season, which is her favourite time. But unlike her, the actors hate Christmas and their family ties don't work at all. So she thinks of a daring experiment - all fourteen actors will create a fictional family for one evening in a rented flat to celebrate Christmas together. Each of them then has to come up with one awkward situation that they have to handle as a family.
  
  What no one else knows is that Aneta has based the idea of this family on her own family. Her idea of a family is completely destroyed by the actors during the evening. The family constellations, which eventually involve the neighbours, become progressively crazier. It's all saved by an angry assistant director who's had enough. She leaves and blows a fuse. The darkness and calming of the situation eventually results in the best Christmas in the history of the world.
