The Finns shot a beautiful story about how Christmas came to be celebrated in Finland. Although I would say that an American kid wouldn’t be able to cope with some of the moments in the movie, I was very satisfied. What I found surprising was that the film tells the legend of Christmas in gradual timelines so over the 77 minutes the movie takes they manage to tell a story that is about half a century long. But I was satisfied. Great atmosphere, beautiful nature and those who know how Christmas is celebrated in Finland cannot be mad with Nikolas and his similarity to Santa Claus.
