A wonderful Christmas movie: Joulutarina (Christmas Story)
The plot is set in Northern Finland, where a little boy called Nikolas, loses his family in an accident.. The villagers decide to look after the orphaned boy together.
Once a year - at Christmas - Nikolas moves to a new home. To show his gratitude, the boy decides to make toys for the children of the families as good-bye presents...
Trailer
The film comes from Finland and was released in Greece last year.

I suggest you see it...

That sounds great, Olga. Was it spoken in Finnish or in English?

Hi Elvira.
The film is spoken in Finnish. Personally, I would not like it in English...
It would lose all its magic..
I hope you see it and tell me your opinion..

The film sounds good, but I'm sorry the little boy has to go to a different family every year. Do you understand the Finnish language?Originally Posted by olga

This intenet show i watch all the time talked about this movie last year. They said it was really good and it is somewhere on my Netflix que right now.
Now wait a minute, Susie. Just because every child can't get his wish that doesn't mean there isn't a Santa Claus.

I do not understang Finnish language, but the movie has subtitles, I saw it last Christmas and I really liked it. It didnt bother me that it was spoken in Finnish.

Subtitles have never been an issue to me either. Since i watch a lot of J-Horror movies they are always subtitled.
