A Christmas Tale

It’s Christmas time in a Swedish town sometime during the 1940-ties. The story’s about the young man Karl-Bertil Jonssons who’s future is predestined by his father, manager of a department store. But the quite naive young man has Robin Hood as his hero, and he´s dreaming of a noble life rather than plunge into business figures. One day he meets Vera, a poor girl in his age living with her little sister at an orphanage in the slum. She opens up Karl-Bertils eyes and he realize that some people are less fortunate than the family Jonsson… Inspired by Robin Hood, Karl-Bertil decides to “to steal from the rich and give to the poor”. During his holiday job at the post office he puts aside Christmas packages to people with an annual income over 50.000 kronor and hide them in a special sack. On Christmas eve, dressed as Santa clause, he heads for the slums and give away Christmas presents to the poor… (SF Studios Fin.)
