Shortly before Christmas, nine-year-old Stine arrives in a small town as a stowaway on a train. She is running away from a girls' boarding school and seeking shelter from the cold winter night. She sneaks into the house of shoemaker Andersen. The old, grumpy man, who prefers to be alone and hasn't left his house for years, resists the presence of the curious girl in every way. However, their encounter not only changes their lives but also the lives of the local residents. The little girl makes the old curmudgeon realize that life is best when shared with those you love. This positively tuned and touching film with an important message for the whole family was filmed near Lillehammer, in authentic Norwegian countryside. Inspired by the popular 1979 TV series, it became a hit in Norwegian cinemas in the fall of 2023. (Zlín Film Festival)
