There are many chairs, tables in this room. There are some persons standing and some are sitting. On the table there are cups, vessels. And in the background there is a wall. On the wall there is a bouquet, curtain and door. There is a Christmas tree. There is a piano on the right side. On the wall there are photo frames. There are windows. On the ceiling there are tube lights.

Come in droves, the hall opens up! - A chaotic yet cozy *Christmas* romance unfolds in Berlin’s shelter

ZDF’s latest romantic comedy, A Nearly Perfect Christmas, will premiere on Sunday, December 14, at 8:15 PM. Directed by Vanessa Parise, the film blends chaotic charm with cozy moments, perfect for fans of festive feel-good stories. Set in a Berlin gymnasium-turned-shelter on Christmas Eve, it follows a group of evacuees forced together by an unexploded World War II bomb.

The story unfolds as radio host Liz (Christine Eixenberger) and architect Bodo (Steve Windolf) cross paths in the makeshift shelter. Despite the drab surroundings, the space soon lights up with candles, twinkling decorations, and a salvaged Christmas tree. Meanwhile, Liz’s parents and sister rush to find her, unaware she’d rather spend the holiday alone.

A Nearly Perfect Christmas airs on ZDF during the third Sunday of Advent, offering a mix of humour, romance, and holiday spirit. The film’s blend of quirky characters and festive resilience makes it a standout choice for seasonal viewing. Viewers can expect a story where chaos gives way to connection—just in time for Christmas.
