The film takes place in the XIX century. In a rich house come to the New Year’s tree children from rich families. A servant girl, similar to Cosette from Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, observes their holiday. After the holiday, during the cleaning of the hall, she dances with a broom instead of a partner and sees an abandoned nutcracker – a toy that was cracked with nuts and almost broke. She awakens a pity for the Nutcracker, and he comes to life and tells the main character about his past.

Eliot Green finds himself caught up in a whirlwind of caterers, guest lists, hairdressers and Torah study as Maria Charles’ endearingly fussy matriarch Rita prepares him for the most important day of his life (no pressure!). Exhausted dad Victor and elder sister Lesley take a more serene approach, but Eliot’s about to experience an acute case of cold feet. Affectionately satirising the rituals of Jewish community and debunking the myth of adulthood, Jack Rosenthal’s witty time capsule of 1970s Britain is still irresistible three decades on.
