Fanny and Alexander

Factual error: At the beginning all the children sleep in the same room on Christmas night. On the wall in the room, next to the door, hangs a string with five different kinds of small cross flags, including the Swedish and Norwegian flags, which are correct for the era, but also a white flag with a blue cross on the string, even though this is almost a decade before Finland would declare independence.
