A family documentary by Robert Cibis, Paul Hadwiger, Sebastian Ko, Sören Senn. Montage: Katrine Granlund
conceived by Matthias Luthardt

They are about 30 years old and make films. Films with a big crew, big images, big intentions. But this time everything is different. This time they take the cameras themselves and film what they have never dared to film before: Christmas with their parents. A documentary trip through and on Christmas eve. Drawn alarmingly from real life.

Robert Cibis:"It cost me quite an effort to direct the camera not on something external but intimately close to me. I believe that one can see this in “Merry Christmas”. Because of the particular situation, in which I myself am the protagonist and know the other people in the film well, my contribution to the film centered on the making of a documentary."
