A show comes to life — Christmas at Grand.
Go behind the scenes as the team at Ljungby Scenproduktion takes on Dickens' much-loved classic A Christmas Carol and turns it into Jul på Grand — a warm, atmospheric Christmas show at Grand. (Ljungby is a town in Småland, southern Sweden.)
From rehearsals and costume fittings to the laughter, the setbacks and the creative fixes along the way, the documentary follows the idea as it takes shape into a finished stage production. With music, song and a love of storytelling, the result is a magical experience that moves and inspires its audience.

Client testimonial
“Oh my — what a beautiful film! SO GOOD!!! I was genuinely moved when I saw the final result. Now I could see the show through the audience's eyes, and through the eyes of the working process itself; and that was wonderful to see. What a luxury to get to work with you. You really are a skilled filmmaker, Jahja.”
