Three brothers who can't stand one another--Sven, Hubert, and Martin--and their wives meet in an old cabin to hear their recently-deceased father's testament. His last will is for them to celebrate Christmas together. Apart from the three couples, only a weird waiter is in the cabin. Something is not quite right - The title means "The Christmas Testament" and the series' 24 parts were originally broadcast on consecutive dates from December 1 to December 24, 1995.
