Beste Bescherung

2013 · 88 min

A cozy, mildly chaotic holiday gathering where family friction and a surprise guest keep things gently amusing rather than stressful.

Overview: At Christmas, the four Maillinger siblings want to spend quality time together in peace and quiet. That's why Miriam, who is now heavily pregnant, invited Anna, Vince and Tom, with their families, to her boyfriend's farm. This project threatens to fail because her unpredictable father Karl appears uninvited in the idyllic wasteland because he is on the run from tax investigators.
