I was expecting a standard slightly boring Christmas theme and was soon completely wrapped up in the unexpectedly interesting storyline. All the actors were excellent, though I liked best of all the juvenile role acted by Helena Zengel - really surpising and brilliant acting in a complex theme.
Great acting, good story, and the singing and music excellent. The action was fast and vivid. The chidren were enchanting - especially the one who lost a tooth between the first and last filming.
A bit different from the usual bland Christmas fare, a subtle and well-presented story of emotional and dramatic interest. All beautifully done. Thanks for a pleasant evening. I shall certainly watch it again - you miss too much great detail in a once-only viewing!
