Cleaning up

In this Austrian Christmas comedy (2025), cabaret artist Gery Seidl plays construction manager Andi, who is torn apart between work stress and family obligations. While his impatient boss and Chinese clients are putting pressure on him, Andi promises his wife and stepdaughter a perfect Christmas – but everything goes wrong: the Christmas tree has disappeared, 280 door frames are stuck at customs, and the family flees to the strict mother-in-law in the Waldviertel region. His buddy Bertl (Thomas Mraz) tries to help but only causes more chaos.

Director Claudia Jüptner-Jonstorff stages a turbulent comedy full of situational humor and subtle undertones, addressing themes like family, failure, and togetherness. The ensemble features stars such as Adele Neuhauser, Maria Hofstätter, and Thomas Stipsits. A film that retells Christmas with plenty of humor and heart – for anyone who wants to experience the festival of love in a different way.
