Home for Christmas (2010)

Emerging from the haunting echoes of a war-stricken former Yugoslavia, the narrative of "Home for Christmas" seamlessly weaves its way through the various Yuletide celebrations in the quaint Norwegian hamlet of Skogli. The film introduces Paul, a 33-year-old laborer, wrestling with a labyrinth of personal challenges who seeks solace in the cold confines of a doctor's office. The doctor himself, trapped in a tumultuous marriage and financial woes, has abandoned his distressed wife to tend to the flurry of emergency calls on Christmas Eve. A myriad of parallel tales unfold alongside; an elderly man meticulously orchestrating an arcane ritual, a wanderer whose path crosses with an old flame, a middle-aged couple entangled in an ardent embrace, a smitten boy yearning for his Muslim neighbor, and an immigrant couple grappling with a car breakdown just as the woman is about to give birth. In the heart of Skogli, Christmas is not only a time of celebration but also a stirring stage set for love, longing, and life's unforeseen trials.

Home for Christmas is a comedy movie featuring Nina Andresen Borud.
