What happens
Home for Christmas (Norwegian: Hjem til jul) is a 2010 Norwegian comedy-drama film directed by Bent Hamer. “Home for Christmas” is based on a selection of short stories from the Norwegian author Levi Henriksen's collection, ”Only Soft Presents Under the Tree”. These stories, which now and then intersect with each other, all take place in Henriksen's fictitious small town of Skogli, over a couple of hours on Christmas Eve. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
