Julenissens verksted

When nine-year-old Mari wakes one night and discovers a nisse (a Christmas elf) in her bedroom, it’s the beginning of an extraordinary Christmas adventure. With a forgotten nisse mitten as her only clue, she sets off on an adventurous journey to find Santa Claus with her grandmother and her very sceptical dad. Meanwhile, the mitten’s owner, Santa’s little helper Stompen, does everything he can to stop them. Julenissens verksted must not be discovered — that would be a catastrophe! Their journey takes them through forests, uplands and beautiful winter landscapes. But there are plenty of challenges too: they must get past the forest guardian, Kjerringa med staven, and battle their way through a terrible snowstorm. The journey is not only exciting; it also helps the family see one another in a new light, and they eventually realise what the real magic of Christmas is. Get ready for this year’s Christmas film for the whole family, packed with festive cheer and well-known songs by Thorbjørn Egner, including Kaptein Sorte Bill, Dyrene i Afrika and Det snør det snør, performed by some of Norway’s leading artists, including Sissel Kyrkjebø.
