That ring...

- I want Dad to buy it for Mum

- Why?

I want them to like each other

I want them to like each other

It's a damn shame

She's my kid

And they won't even let me in

They think I'm a dead loss

I don't know what they think

Why are you laughing?

You're right... it's not funny

- There, there, dear...

- Go away!

- Come on, Anna-Rosa

- Go away!

Go away, just leave me alone

What's wrong?

I like him

Who?

My Dad. At least I think he is

If he doesn't drink, can he

come for Christmas?

I don't know

Christmas is always a difficult time

Like some gingerbread?

I never dare look in a mirror

on Christmas Eve

Why not?

Didn't you know mirrors are magic

on Christmas Eve?

If by chance you know someone

who is going to die...

...in the coming year...

...you can make them

appear in a mirror...

...and stand there with no head

If they stand in the mirror...

...just when you light the candles

on Christmas Eve...

It's just then, when you

light the candles...

...that mirrors are dangerous

Is it true?

For those who are going to die,

next year

It'll be Christmas soon

Stand still. Stand up straight

That's right. Now smile

There, you do look a nice boy

It's only Christmas once a year

What are the candles doing here?

They belong to the hall mirror

Happy Christmas!

Doesn't it look lovely?

And where is Elvis?

Elvis, where are you, dear?

Here he is

Is Father Christmas coming?

Yes, but let's have dinner first

Kids are all the same,

only think of presents

Christmas is for children

Let's see what nice presents

I have here

Merry Christmas, Grandpa

I wonder who this is from

Is it from Santa?

No, it's from Dad

Well, do you like it?

It's lovely

But don't pearls mean tears?

No, of course not, Inge

I heard it somewhere

Just an old superstition,

take no notice

Elvis helped me choose it

And a good job he did too

Yes, he certainly did. I'll go

and look in the mirror

I can see your head

And I can see yours

You mustn't ever die

My darling little boy...

...and for everybody in

the whole wide world

A penny for your thoughts

I was thinking of Anna-Rosa

and her Dad

And Anna-Rosa's Mummy

And her Grandma

And her Great-grandma

People can like each other,

can't they...

...even if they don't understand

each other?

Of course they can

Elvis... aren't you staying

at home with Mummy?

It's Christmas Day

I was looking forward to it

Don't you want to be with Mummy?

Yes, Mummy

Let's go in, then

For my sake, Elvis

Don't you like Mummy?

Oh yes

Are you going to see someone?

No

I will be good

I will be good

I will be good
