Adaptation
Two diverse families meet for the first time over Christmas dinner. The evening goes off the rails right from the start when the male host couple reveal a closely guarded secret: there's also a hostess in the house, and she's very pregnant! Of course, the frantic group of relatives don't take the news lightly and demand the paternity to be confirmed - which is no simple task. A series of misunderstandings drives the Christmas guests to the brink of a nervous breakdown, and as the evening progresses, Santa Claus himself is forced to look in the mirror. Their Christmas together seems doomed to failure until, to everyone's surprise, the evening culminates in a heart-melting Christmas miracle.

Эльза Ахо – владелица шляпного салона и, к тому же, известная ясновидящая. К её услугам то и дело прибегает отдел по розыску без вести пропавших. Но этот дар нельзя использовать себе во благо, поэтому Эльза не знает, что в серой социалистической Праге, за «железным занавесом», прозябает тот, кого она так пылко любила в юности, и из-за кого так и не вышла замуж. Она считает его мёртвым... 8-ой фестиваль молодёжи и студентов в Хельсинки вновь сталкивает две разных системы, два противоположных лагеря. Этот яркий, красочный и безрассудный водоворот затягивает даже тех, кому по штату положено стоять на страже идеалов социализма...

Antero Rousku is a storeman in a paint store. His job requires raw muscle power, mixing paints and carrying house repair materials around to earn his daily bread. But the basic salary is not enough for Rousku. He also sells a lot of stuff on the side from the storeroom directly to Jylhäkorpi, a frequent visitor, bypassing company bookkeeping. Rousku's colleague in the cellar storeroom is Raninen whose life consists of work, quarreling with his wife, and lottery. Raninen wants to win the main prize but he wants to have the right numbers in exactly the order in which they appear from the lottery machine. Raninen is not the sharpest pencil in the pencil box. Rousku's freedom is threatened by his relationship to the saleswoman Karita. Rousku wants to keep a distance to the woman except in bed. Karita has decided otherwise.
