In the emergency room of a district hospital, doctors and nurses have a lot to do, like every year, especially on Christmas Eve . Despite their own problems, they face the challenges of the eventful night. Little Tobias collapsed at the Christmas market and now it turns out that the boy is suffering from a life-threatening brain tumor and needs an operation immediately. The pensioner Lili gives him consolation, who actually only went to the emergency room to escape her loneliness that evening. Furthermore, pastor Darius Horwath is admitted with a broken arm and is immediately looked after by nurse Farki, who has actually been secretly in love with Horwath for a long time. A suicide attempt by Karina Meisner also needs medical attention, which hospital psychologist Dr. Holling has to worry about.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv said: “'When we meet' is a wonderful, telegenic wrist warmer, one of the best Christmas TV films in recent years. A multitude of stories and fates collide on Christmas Eve in a Hamburg clinic. Cinematographer Dragan Rogulj bathes the 'big events' of falling out of love, attempted suicide, and brain tumors in a warm light and connects them with the supposedly small moments in life: the feeling of loneliness and a lack of fulfillment. Sentimentality: of course! Truthfulness: especially! "

At Kino.de , Tilmann evaluated P. Gangloff and saw in the film “a warmth that of course borders on kitsch at times, but never crosses this limit. But sentimentality is allowed, and there is plenty of it, because actually the characters are unhappy without exception, even if they bravely try to hide it. ”He continued:“ On the other hand, there are the many stories with great affection for theirs Figures tells, especially since everyone finds their place in life in the end. A really nice, heart-touching Christmas film. "
