Christmas Story

Stunning photography highlights this delightful, heartwarming, family-oriented Finnish film in which an orphaned boy (Jonas Rinne/Otto Gustavsson) carves wooden toys for the children of the kind Lapland villagers (Mikko Leppilampi, Minna Haapkylä, et al.) who took turns caring for him, and his passion for carving and giving of toys continue as an adult (Hannu-Pekka Björkman) after he goes to live with a crotchety, lonely, widowed carpenter (Kari Väänänen).
