- Synopsis:
Every Christmas, the peace and quiet of Owen's house in South Wales - where he lives with his pessimistic father and his rigidly organised mother - is shattered by the arrival of three family members: Owen's two uncles and his cousin Maurice. In this series of vignettes we see episodes from three Christmases dotted throughout the 1980s, as Owen and Maurice grow from boys into men, while his dad and uncles seem to regress from men into boys, and Owen's mum watches in despair. The novelties of Christmas change but the staple routines remain the same: bickering, competitive games and badly-judged presents. Yet beneath all this antagonism is a certain joy arising from the fact that, deep down, everyone knows they couldn't really have Christmas without each other... or could they? - Actors:
