Julefrokosten

1976 · 87 min

A loose, chatty office comedy where a boozy Christmas party lets colleagues drop their masks and old marriages wobble.

Overview
About the traditional celebration at Christmas. It is a safety valve, a cleansing bath that gives strength and zest for life well into the new year. "People meet" – and masks fall around the lavishly laid tables, where the director and the workers drink together. Local democracy works – and long-standing marriages falter! However, very few Christmas parties reach the same heights as the one enjoyed by the staff at Simonsens Bijouteri Fabrik.
