9/10
A good story
17 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
As the story goes (you probably heard it in church on christmas day or eve) it happened in those days etc...

(Warning: contains spoilers)

Josefine is tired of her birthday playing second fiddle to the birth of jesus. So for about 16 episodes she lets the vitriol get the better of her.

She wont see the bigger picture & when she gets the chance to meddle in the past, she takes it (Unaware of the consequences).

Its a brilliant perspective of what jesus' life was like as a pre-teen (as they say nor much is known). What would he have wanted to become if he wasnt chosen to be the son of god. What dreams he had.

The frustration shows when Josefine is forced to tell as it is, jesus wont accept it & gets mad.

All the while Thorsen (the devil) lurks in the shadow & when he has his way everyone will be shoveling coal after Jesus gives up on what he is destined to be.

His one quote (in danish): er der noget jeg ikke kan fordrage, saa er det mennesker som hedder jytte. De er skingerende skoere. Jytte the teacher is passionate but not "skoer" (crazy).

Yet in the end it all clicks & everything returns to normal.

How they build another story around the story jesus birth impressed my grandmas priest that she got it on VHS tape during a meeting.
