By night Alfred and Klara are pen pals who have never met but who are deeply devoted to each other. By day, Alfred and Klara are co-workers who, just as deeply, dislike each other. Their day/night hate/love relationship cannot continue, but will it be loving or loathing when Alfred and Klara discover the identity of their cherished confidant?

'It just deals with the holidays in a very interesting, compelling and human way. It leaves you with a warm and hopeful feeling of Christmas.' Jacqueline Lynch, author of Christmas in Classic Films.
‘This is Lubitsch’s masterpiece, an immaculate conflation of his sprightly shooting style, expertly layered wisecracking and bracing realism, all topped off with a romantic subplot that offers a nakedly joyous celebration of young, serendipitous love.’ David Jenkins, Time Out
Cyfle prin i weld 'The Shop Around the Corner', y clasur o 1940 a ysbrydolodd 'You've Got Mail' (1998), ar y sgrîn fawr. Mae'n gymysgedd perffaith o gomedi, rhamant, trasiedi a gobaith.
Gyda'r nos, mae Alfred a Klara yn gyfeillion sy'n ysgrifennu at ei gilydd ac yn hynod ymroddedig i'w gilydd er nad ydynt wedi cwrdd. Gyda'r dydd, mae Alfred a Klara yn gydweithwyr nad ydynt yn hoff o'i gilydd. Ni all eu perthynas dydd/nos casineb/cariad barhau, ond a fydd Alfred a Klara'n casáu ei gilydd neu'n caru ei gilydd pan fyddan nhw'n darganfod pwy yw eu cyfaill cyfrinachol annwyl?
