" Let yourself be swept away by the magic of Christmas, where laughter, secrets, and wonder come together to delight young and old alike! "

At an orphanage in the Far North, Hans no longer believes in Santa Claus at all and hates this holiday. As the director, he nevertheless does his best to prepare for it with his young residents.

But the evening takes a sudden turn with the dramatic arrival of an unexpected visitor down the chimney: Sven! Hans finds it hard to believe that Sven is the special envoy of the famous white-bearded man... As for Sven, he doesn’t yet realize that this year, his mission will go far beyond just taking care of the reindeer!

Soon joined by the legendary figure dressed all in red, memories resurface and secrets are revealed. Faced with their fears and beliefs, will Hans and Sven manage to overcome their doubts and let themselves be swept away by the true magic of Christmas?
