Story
On Christmas Eve, in the Cirulitis family with many children, everything went wrong: the eldest son got a deuce, the dog tore off the collar on their guest’s expensive coat, the father, a good pianist, was refused a teacher’s place in a music school and, to top it all, the house owner threatens put their noisy family outside.
In a small town where the musician's family lived, a virtuoso pianist, peer of the youngest son of Cirulitis, Jantsis, came from Riga with a concert. The children met and became friends. The result of their friendship was the invitation of the desperate Cirulitis Sr. to the post of director of a private music boarding house, opened at the expense of the rich father of the little geek.
