24 gute Taten

Two years ago, Emma lost her partner Niklas in a car accident on Christmas Eve. Since then, she has been hiding from life in her small home goods and gift shop. During the day, she sells tea sets and dish towels, and at night she sits alone on the roof of her house, looking over Stockholm. However, with the approaching holiday season, the Christmas business is also just around the corner. Along with it comes her sister Magda, who is determined to do everything she can to ensure that Emma doesn't lose her shop, which is on the brink of bankruptcy. When Emma brings an old man home through a snowstorm on the eve of December 1st, she realizes how good it feels to help others. She makes a decision: she will perform 24 good deeds—one for each day leading up to Christmas Eve. Through the doors of her very own Advent calendar, she steps into the lives of those around her. In the process, Emma not only finds new friends but ultimately also discovers herself—and a new love. For weeks, it was number one on the Swedish bestseller list: a warm, heartfelt story about what makes Christmas so special.
