Christmas peace in Stig Larsson's way. A Christmas tale about a family which isn't quite like everybody else. Or maybe they really are... A beautiful facade can hide so much. Like the popular and complacent TV-meteorologist Arvid has a half alcoholic wife, Charlotte, and a wounded daughter, Lisa, who has given birth to a son which Lisa says that he is the father to. This happy family will celebrate Christmas with Arvid's best friend Sune, detective superintendent, and his wife Cholatom, who Sune found in Thailand.
Kaj, Lennart and Robert are 30-somethings who goes out to dance every weekend. At one dance they meet Inger, whom Kaj falls in love with. Kaj has some friends who are playing in a band. The drummer Tommy is known for being the local Casanova, seducing women when ever he gets the chance. It doesn't take him long to have an affair with Inger, behind Kaj's back.
