The story so far
Everything you need before watchingOn Christmas Eve, Mr. Matuschek leaves the hospital early and returns to the shop he has spent most of his life building. He jokes about missing customers, checks how the rival store is doing, and discovers that his staff have had their biggest day since 1928. The mood turns tender as he calls them his “doctors” and “nurses,” gives out bonuses, and sends everyone home.
