Ein Junge namens Weihnacht

It seems someone decided to give the origin of Santa Claus the full fantasy-adventure treatment. Young Nikolas goes in search of his woodcutter father, lost somewhere far north near the legendary Elfhelm. What follows is indeed magical, endearing, and further proof that nothing is impossible, at least in movies.
