Home for Christmas
2010 · 90 MIN · IMDB 6.1 · 1,227 VOTES · DIR. Bent Hamer
Overview
Adapted from a series of short stories by Norwegian author Levi Henriksen, Bent Hamers Home for Christmas weaves together the lives of people struggling to find their way home on a Christmas Eve, beneath the colors of the Northern Lights. The plot unfolds during a few afternoon hours on Christmas Eve. The individual stories, which at times intertwine, are set in the small town Skogli. The characters in the stories cover a great range in age and life situations, representing both reconciliation with their own lives and strong frustration. Some show the will to understand and do something about their lives, while others have given up. Deeply tragic and melancholy aspects are mixed with humour and rather frivolous solutions.

00:00:58 Where is Goran?
00:07:03 It is her house. She inherited it.
00:08:01 The end result would have been the same.
00:09:26 Yeah. Paul dropped by.
00:16:01 I'd feel like a hypocrite.
00:18:18 -Want to come in? -I should head home.
00:22:45 I've had eight Christmas trees stolen already this year.
00:24:30 Honey, are you OK? The doctor is here. Everything will be fine now.
00:30:15 A long while.
00:31:30 -You're about the same size. -I was on my way home, but...
00:35:09 A cell phone from daddy!
00:38:32 Breathe.
00:43:22 Let me show you something else.
00:45:46 -Aren't you having any? -I ate just before you came.
00:47:11 Yes.
00:48:27 I'm going to buy live trees that people can chop down.
00:52:42 I know you love me.
00:53:41 I am going to leave her, but...
00:54:47 You said it's better to regret something than to do nothing.
01:00:16 I'm just calling to say I won't be coming.
01:02:06 And suddenly I missed you so much.
01:09:12 Mighty is God's heaven
01:13:44 I think it's Jordan Hjalmarsen.
