Plot

Kalli, a young boy living with his mother in the suburbs of Reykjavik, thrives in the world of movies and computer games. When he is sent to spend Christmas with his father's new family up north at an isolated farm, Kalli meets his stepsister, who he does not get along with. Soon he decides to run away, but only to be hit harder by reality and Kalli has to learn how to fight "real life" challenges while encountering imaginary and fictional creatures.

***

A story about growing up in 1960's Iceland... Kalli (Bergpor Porvaldsson) has wrongly been suspended from school just before the Christmas holidays and his single mom has too much on her plate to keep him around. He is shipped off, greatly against his will, to stay with his father, his pregnant girlfriend, and her daughter Ellen, who has a well-earned reputation as a witch.
Kalli soon has his fill of the situation and he heads off to town when his father & girlfriend are off giving birth. Unfortunately for him, a severe blizzard is approaching their remote Icelandic village, and he quickly gets lost.
Ellen tracks him down and they find an empty house to wait out the storm, little realizing that they will be visited by a ghost whose good will must be earned... and by a ravenous polar bear.
