The film adaptation was dubbed as Denmark’s favorite Christmas comedy. The counterpart theater play which also bears the same title was first played at Folketeatret, 125 years ago.[1] It was performed more than 1,500 times.

Plot

The story revolves around the Christmas adventures of three students in Nøddebo, in the 1860s.[2] Siblings Christopher, Frederick and Nicolai were invited by the local pastor and his wife for the holiday celebration. Christopher and Frederick fell in-love with the daughters of their host family. Nicolai, however, wooed the girls and felt distraught when he found out about his older brothers’ feelings.
