Highlights
Synopsis
This new adaptation of the play that inspired several movies is a warm, gentle comedy that follows the tangled tale of Parfumerie employee George Horvath.
Just days before Christmas, George’s boss fires him after mistakenly suspecting him to be the lover of his unfaithful wife.
Meanwhile, George’s own love life goes awry when he discovers that the stranger he has fallen in love with through a secret correspondence is none other than Amalia Balash, a co-worker with whom he constantly feuds.
For the employees of the Parfumerie, only the truth can lead to a happy resolution in this old-fashioned, romantic Christmas tale.
Adapted by E.P.
Dowdall from the play Parfumerie , written by his Hungarian-born uncle Miklos Laszlo.
