Hardy Hoosman, as Karl Valentin and Silvia Klemm, as Liesl Karlstadt in a hilarious but also touching version of the "Christbaumbrettl", compiled from 20 different sketches by Karl Valentin.
"Christmas Eve is off to a good start," says Mrs. Bamperl, after she has already had to pull the milk boy's ears because he brought the milk too late again, she had to realize that they still don't have a Christmas tree shortly before Christmas Eve, she has given away her furniture because she is supposed to have inherited a kitchen set, the children are almost freezing to death outside because they are only allowed in when the tree is up, the milk boy's mother wants to report her, the janitor brings the inheritance, which is not at all what she wanted, the man can't get into his house because there is a snowman on his doorstep and he has also brought a Christmas tree without a board. The chaos seems perfect, but that was just the beginning... See why the Bamperl family has to spend Christmas Eve in a pub at the Fritz Theater.
