Home for Christmas

In a small, fictitious Norwegian town, we follow several different Christmas celebrations. Paul marches into his doctor?s office to unload himself of his burdens, but the doctor is beleaguered by problems of his own. There?s also a vagrant who runs into an old flame; a middle-aged couple in the throes of passion; a boy hopelessly in love with his Muslim neighbor, and a young couple whose car breaks down just as the wife goes into labor.
