The film was made in 1976 or 1977. Shots on a TV and some presents waiting by a cupboard. Maria and Wojciech Drygas (Maciej’s parents) together with Maria’s sister and her daughters share the Christmas wafer and have Christmas Eve dinner. After the meal, the family gives each other Christmas presents. In the background, we can see a dressed small Christmas tree and mistletoe hanging from the ceiling.
