In a three-hour, 40th anniversary rerelease, this Swedish family saga unfolds with emotional power, wonder and brilliant acting. Her sensitive son Oscar Allan Edwall is actor-manager of the family-run theatre whose traditions have infused family life with a worldly gaiety and exuberance, especially at Christmas, which is when the tale begins. Another son, Gustav Adolf Jarl Kulle , is a conceited, jovial and philandering restaurateur, who in his almost childlike and dependent way is having an affair with the sweet-natured family maid Maj Pernilla August , to the lenient exasperation of his wife Alma Mona Malm.
