Julenissens verksted

When nine-year-old Mari wakes one night to find a Christmas elf in her bedroom, it marks the beginning of an unusual Christmas adventure. With a forgotten elf mitten as their only clue, she, her grandmother and a very sceptical father set off on an adventurous journey to find Santa Claus, while the mitten’s owner, Santa’s little helper Stompen, does everything he can to stop them. Santa’s workshop must not be discovered — it would be a disaster! Their journey takes them through forests, across open moorland and through beautiful winter landscapes. But there are plenty of challenges along the way: they must get past the forest’s guardian, Kjerringa med staven, and fight 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 true magic of Christmas is. Get ready for this year’s Christmas film for the whole family, packed with festive spirit and familiar Thorbjørn Egner songs, including Kaptein Sorte Bill, Dyrene i Afrika and Det snør det snør, performed by some of Norway’s leading artists, including Sissel Kyrkjebø.
