The Pincher family are thieves - they like to take other people’s stuff.
The son however, Ture Pincher, is different. He can’t even lie. He is the white sheep of the family.
“What will become of him?” his mother worries.
“As long as you give them enough love, criminality will follow” states his father.
On the 23rd of December, their grandmother Stulia will be released from prison, and they can all celebrate Christmas together. That is, if nobody in the family does something stupid and swaps places with Stulia in prison instead!
A famous, historical item is on exhibition in the city - The Rose from Sinai - a thing of true splendour, a star glittering with light, and full of Christmas spirit. Ture is nervous because everything that glitters is irresistible to the Pincher family. But when the star disappears, it is Ture himself that is accused of the theft.
A hunt for the real thief begins. Because if Ture doesn't manage to find the star before Christmas Eve, neither the city’s crooks nor the Pincher family will be allowed to celebrate Christmas at all.
