What happens

Mor, hvorfor græder julemanden? er en dansk kortfilm fra 2021 instrueret af Marie-Louise Damgaard. 5-årige Carolines lillebror lider af leukæmi. Selvom hendes mor og far forsøger at give Caroline en traditionel magisk jul, frygter de konstant at miste deres søn, hvilket overskygger Carolines behov og hendes ønske om opmærksomhed.
