Snekker Andersen og Julenissen (2016) - full transcript

This is the story
of a boy named Andersen.

He probably had
also a first name,

but everyone just called him Andersen.

Every Christmas
he almost burst out of curiosity.

"Santa Claus is coming
This year too?"

But on a Christmas
Andersen was around six,

something terrible happened.

Andersen had so much to do
that he forgot

his wish list
to put in the Christmas stocking.

Where should Santa Claus come from?
Now know what he should bring him?

That Christmas Eve
Andersen was very unhappy.



But Santa came.

"Are there good children here?",

he asked, looking at Andersen.

But Andersen didn't say a word.

He never knew this little one
would get blue ski jumper

which he is more than
wish everything else in the world.

But do you know what?

As Andersen
unwrapped his gift...

Exactly.

It was a ski jumper!

Exactly the one that he wanted.

Little Andersen was so happy
that he didn't even know

on which foot it should stand.
And after that day

there was no one to whom
Santa loved as much as Andersen.



But today's story

wears many years later
at Christmas too.

From little Andersen
had become the great carpenter Andersen.

And he had a woman.

And three children.

The day before Christmas Eve

Andersen was on the roof
and decorated the house.

But he had no idea

this is the strangest Christmas
that he had ever experienced.

What are you doing dad

Come here.

Great right?

What are you guys doing
because up here?

I decorate.

Decorate?

Watch out.

I decorate for Santa Claus.

Isn't that nice?
- It looks really great, dad.

Do you have a Written wish list?

No.
- But you should do that.

It's your turn.

Karl.

You are six years old.

You always have
not yet understood?

You know, do not you,
who is santa claus?

Mummy!

Mummy!

Sverre and Tone?

Sverre and Tone?

Go out there and check it out.

The house looks so nice.

Look at that.

I thought I had
the flap closed. So.

I will close your mouth!

Listen carefully...

Mummy!
- Not now, Karl, be quiet!

Dad, there is a fire!

My goodness!

How could I forgot the cookies?

Well, well...
- Open the window!

Look at this.

No no no!

All elves are broken.

I'm sorry.

Silly me,

to use my flour
without looking for elves beforehand!

That's a shame.
- Oh, do you think?

These were calendar presents.
- I don't have time for that!

I still have to salt the ribs.
For tomorrow.

Where did you put it

The rib.

Just say you forgot
to buy the ribs!

I knew there was something.

It wasn't easy
to find the outside lights.

I had to be in six,
seven stores go

and when I finally did
had found the right ones

I'm home very quickly
to finish decorating. Therefore...

I have the rib just forget.

You idiot!

Did you forget your family
to visit tomorrow? - No.

What will your mother say
if she doesn't get pork ribs?

"The most important thing is that
the family together at Christmas."

Family...

Carpenter Andersen!
- Yes.

Tomorrow morning you will be the first
go to the butcher immediately.

And buy ribs.
- Yes.

And pray to God
that they are not sold out.

Otherwise I leave Christmas
fail this year!

You can Christmas
don't drop out.

And now you're cleaning the living room!
- Yes.

Calendar gifts...

Don't get dirty.
- Don't we celebrate Christmas, dad?

What are you saying
- Are we not celebrating Christmas?

But. Of course we will
Celebrate Christmas.

Mom sounds a little annoyed.

Yes.

And the...

Its my fault.

But I will clean.

And afterwards everything will shine here

and be even cleaner than before.

I'll tell you a secret.

Nobody can scrub floors so well
like we men.

But don't tell the women.

Otherwise they make sure
that you have to keep cleaning.

Karl!

What is it?
- Come here!

Do you see her?

Look at the little footsteps!

Was it a Christmas gnome?
- What are you doing?

A gnome was there and
ate our porridge.

That was probably dad.

Do you think your father
eats the porridge from the gnome?

Yes, I think.

Little Miss,
I have to ask very much.

Look at that.

I don't have feet that small.
- That was an elf.

How stupid
are you holding us, dad?

Don't listen to them

You are just confused
of all the pop music.

You and I know better.

A Christmas gnome was clearly here.

Come on.

Just imagine

the children find on Christmas Eve
no gift on her calendar.

Now listen...

Can we do that with Santa Claus?
Screw down this year?

You know, do not you,
what happened last year.

I have Santa Claus not seen.

I have been to the restrooms.

Firefighters exempt
Santa Claus from the fireplace

Oh yes, that.

Do you remember

That was the most embarrassing
what ever happened to me

I can only imagine,
what our neighbors think.

Yes. Santa Claus
had some bad luck, I admit it.

But now I've swept the fireplace.

Santa Claus is there slip through
like an oiled bolt of lightning.

No.

Good.

So we agree?

Yes.

The deal is that this year
doesn't slip through the fireplace?

Yes / Yes.

I will tell him.

Very well.

Good night.

Good night.

What in the world
are you doing up there?!

Hey

I'm not doing anything.
I'm just hanging here.

Finally caught.

We got him.
- Dad is Santa Claus.

No no no.

I have a sound
heard in the living room.

So I came in here
to see if everything is OK.

Look! There are sweets
in your stockings.

So Santa Claus was there.

Cut off your father right away!

Who promised me that he had none
Santa Claus nonsense does more?

I just promised

that Santa Claus
will not climb on the roof.

Look at this!

This is total chaos!
- Yes.

Your Santa Claus madness
ruined our Christmas!

Yes.
- Yes.

I screwed it up.

I request that Santa Claus
takes time off this year.

In his own interest.

And with it the rest of us
gets some peace and quiet.

Okay.

Except on Christmas Eve.
- No exception!

That is my decision.

What if he just knocks on the window?
- No.

Coming on a bike? Or maybe...
- No, stop now. No!

Good.
- No.

Your Santa Claus
won't do anything.

He won't come through the fireplace.
Or through the door.

Not on water and
especially not through the air.

Santa Claus
is not coming this year!

But he has to...
- No!

No.
- And it stays that way!

Great.

Well...

My wife is probably right.

There is time for everything
Carpenter Andersen.

Father?

Tell me.

Are you still awake?
- I can not sleep.

Should I read you a story?
- No.

Karl, what's up?

Is it true that Santa Claus
won't come?

Santa Claus?

Well

it may be that he
Christmas Eve is too busy.

Like you and me.

I told you how I once
should build a kitchen for people

me until Christmas not finished?

And they came to eat with us.
Yes, I already know the story.

Okay.

If that is the case,

that Santa Claus doesn't have time
to visit us...

I'll get it then
no christmas present?

But!

Of course you get
a Christmas present.

And how do I get the gift?

Then...

Then we will Call Santa Claus.

Yes Yes Yes.
Then he will call us

and tell us
where he hid the presents.

Then we can pick them up.

But, dad, it is not the same.

You have to do that
do not worry about it.

Everything will be fine.

Promised.

But now you have to sleep
my boy.

Otherwise we wait forever
on Christmas Eve.

Good night.

Good night.

Sleep well.

No, the talking wasn't necessarily
Andersen's greatest strength.

What should he do now?

What!
Is there any post today?

Yes, always on duty.

And you have December 24th
Time to drive around?

No, I had to do a few errands.

Errands.
You mean the rib there.

Yes.

And, Andersen,
what is your fireplace doing

Can Santa Claus come back?

A little Christmas decoration doesn't hurt.
- Yes / Yes.

So...

Aunt Ågot from Hamar.
You won't get rid of them, will you?

Looks like you forgot
to invite them to Christmas dinner.

Call her.
I have Christmas vacation now.

Yes.
- Yes.

And you should scatter your way.
I barely made it up here.

I'm sorry.
And Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.

Let's see.

Hello Hello hello! Hi.

Are you good here...

Are there good children here?

Carpenter Andersen?

Karl will like the card.

"For Karl."

Carpenter Andersen?

Where are you?

What are you doing now

I chop wood.

In your underwear?

I want my pants don't get dirty.

Listen, I need the rib.
- Is in the front seat.

I bought the best
that the butcher had to offer.

Hi.

"I want my pants
don't get dirty."

They are coming!
- Anyone home?

Hello my little one!
- How nice to see you!

Merry Christmas!

Hi. Merry Christmas to you too.

Welcome!
- Merry Christmas, my son!

Would you take that off me

I hope you are all hungry.

There is someone
really put effort.

Ribs and sausages,
Sauerkraut and red cabbage.

Yes, everything you need for a
successful Christmas needs.

But one ate his plate
empty much faster than the others.

Don't you think
should you stop slowly?

Tomorrow is also a day.
- Yes Yes Yes.

Can we get up?
- Yes.

So...

that's the best rib,
I've ever eaten.

But your cooking skills
I can’t get it.

Well...

The most important thing is that the family
together at Christmas.

Well, Karl...

Hey

What are you doing here all by yourself?
- I'm just standing around a bit.

You know,

now there is rice pudding,
with almond.

And something tells me

that you this year
get the almond.

Do you think?

Come along.

Without the soft snow
and a little bit of luck

our story would end here.

Hi!

Maybe it starts
but only at this point.

Are you doing well?

You look like you have
beaten you. Everything OK?

Yes, thank you.
Everything seems to be still there.

Good.

We seem to be on the same mission
to be on the go.

The Santa Claus suit and all that.

Yes.

Carpenter Andersen.

Santa Claus.

Yes...

A nice little joke.
After all, it is Christmas Eve.

Yes Yes Yes. Exactly.

Yes / Yes.

What happened?

Oh no!

This is the gift for my son.

But now everything is broken.

Oh dear!

Do you live in the house up there

Yes.

So you're a carpenter Andersen?

Yes Yes Yes. Yes.

It is my children
never in her entire life

have seen a real carpenter.

I always tell them
if you are very dear,

then joiner Andersen comes
maybe visit them.

But we have each other
never met so...

How about a business?

I visit your children
and you visit mine.

Then none of them have to be alone
on Christmas Eve.

Could you do that?
- Yes. I do that anyway.

Thank you so much!

Thanks alot!

Yes Yes Yes.
It's a pleasure.

Since they don't know me
that would have to work out.

No no no.
Take off that silly suit.

And who do I dress up as?

You don't have to dress up.

My kids see Santa Claus
anyway every day.

Just follow my footsteps.

Go in there and keep going.
And if you have a big rock

you reach a stump and a fir,
then you're there.

In there and keep going, and...

All right.

Carpenter Andersen didn't know
how it happened.

So he decided
"go in there and keep going".

Just like the man in the
Santa Claus costume had said.

Hi?

Is someone there?

No!

What's this?

One two,

three Christmas hats?

Are you the carpenter

Of course it is.
Just see how big it is.

Are you a real carpenter

Yes, I am a carpenter.

Hooray, the carpenter!

I touched him first!

Where are you taking me?

You come with us.

Come over!

Come on! More quickly!

Go inside

Take care of your head!
Come over!

Don't strike, carpenter Andersen.

What is this place?
- Our home.

Here we live.

Mummy! The carpenter is here!

Don't scream, kids.
- But that's the carpenter!

I can not believe it!
- Isn't he great, mom?

I found him!
- Calm down, children.

You pretend you have
never seen a human being.

Is he human?
- Look how big he is, mom!

Yes, so...
- You never saw him first.

You...

Come on in!

Andersen.

Oh you...

I can't believe I
have never seen your house before.

Well, it's hidden too.
Most people just walk by.

You decorate your house
because not for Christmas?

We don't have time for that.

But you celebrate Christmas.

No.

My husband is Christmas
but never at home.

Don't you get gifts?

So your husband is handing out presents
to strangers,

but your own children
don't get any?

No.

That’s not possible.

I'll carve some.

Yes!

Is there some wood somewhere?

We have roots.

I get it!
- Me too!

I already know what I want!

Isn't that too cumbersome?
- No no no.

Oh, is there a strange elf?

That is Andersen.

The Carpenter.

I've seen you before

Do you carve a sled for me?
- And a doll bed for me?

A doll bed!
This is my biggest wish!

I asked first.
- I want a doll bed!

One after the other.

Carriage.

Doll bed.

And what do you want?

I do not know.

Yes, he knows well.
- Yes, he knew earlier.

Tell me.
- A spinning top.

A spinning top?

Then you should get one too.

And Andersen started with
what he did best.

But waited at his home
a very disappointed little boy.

Hi?

Are there good children here?

Look, there is a little guy!

Santa is here!
Santa Claus has come!

You see, I said
Santa Claus is coming!

Good evening and
Merry Christmas.

If that's not Santa Claus...
- Merry Christmas!

The real one.

Sit down by the fireplace.
- Thanks a lot.

Yes...

This will be carpenter Andersen
still sorry!

Have you been good
- Very!

Yes! We were really good.

Yes! That's nice.

Santa Claus?

You're sure to be hungry.

Oh. Do you hear the?

My stomach is growling,
something to eat would be really great.

I'm not saying no.

Please, Santa Claus.
- Oh yes, look!

Ui, ui, ui!
- Yes...

Then enjoy your meal.

Yes, yes, look!

Ui, ui, ui!
It looks really good.

My goodness!

I can never get enough of porridge.

Yes?

Don't you think it's too spicy?

It tastes fantastic.

It's wonderful.

Wait, can I try it?

Forgiveness.

No, this time it was not so easy
To expose carpenter Andersen.

He was busy at the same time
Carve Christmas presents.

The boy got a sled
and the girl a doll bed.

Exactly, what they wanted.

This one...

Is for you.

Thank you.

Do you have a doll
- I have a baby forest mouse.

A baby forest mouse?

Yes, it's like that
play with a doll.

Come here.

Look at this.

Hi.

A really cute wood mouse.

Do you want your top?
Not try it?

May I?

It's really great!

Do you have a wish?

I?

No...

What would you like, grandpa?

Grandpa doesn't listen so well anymore.

Let's see...

This here!

What are you carving there, Andersen?

Yes / Yes. Then let's see
what's in here.

I bet you know everything.

Everything? I?

No, I wouldn't say that.

I mean about Santa Claus.
- I see.

I know a lot about that, yes.

OK.

Is this kind of a quiz now?
Well then...

What is the name of Santa Claus
in Sweden?

Santa Claus in Sweden?

I think it means...

"Jultomten"?

Not?
- Correct.

What is the name of Santa Claus
in England?

Santa Claus in England?

There they are called...

There they are called...

"Father Christmas".

Father Christmas.

Correct.
- Yes!

And what do you say in France
do you know that?

France! Yes I know that.

The... How was that?
His name is...

"Père Noël",
Mademoiselle, en France.

Oui?

Correct.
- Yes!

Great!
And in Russia?

Do you know that?

His name is Father Frost.
"Djed Moros". And they sing...

Yes! Yes, and in Ireland?

In Ireland they dance river dance.

Do you know

One, two, three, four!

And in Hawaii?
It's so hot there.

But you also dance there.
And they call Santa Claus...

"Kanakaloka, Kanakaloka ..."

I'm sorry.

So rarely does anyone ask me
after my work.

Most people
just want their packages.

That is fun.
Have you got any more questions?

Uh, yes.
- Yes?

How do you do it, all of them
Deliver gifts in one day?

Good question.

Which I look at every year
for Christmas.

I do not know it either.

I'm taking one house at a time.

And it always goes well.

Well, of course I have
a lot of experience and

know some abbreviations.

So i have
answered all your questions?

Yes. Now i have
all the answers to my questions.

Very well.

Here is a little boy
who is excited?

We can do something about that.

Fire!

What the hell drove in you?!

How do you behave?
- He burned.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

For Christmas
you quickly catch fire.

But now you're completely wet.
I'll get you a towel.

Here is something for you...

Is this okay,
when I'm sitting here?

This Christmas eve
I'll never forget

No...

You are welcome.

This is for you.

Where have you ever seen me

No!

Do you hear something, grandpa
- What did you hear, grandpa?

I can hear you all!

I found you in here.

You are the son...

by Andersen, from Vicarstrasse.

Do you know my father

But you were still a little boy.

But you loved your gift very much.

A ski jumper.

You wanted to go outside right away
to play with him.

It's true.

Come along.
I want to show you something.

You have us forever
no longer understood, grandpa.

Yes.

I can not believe it!

What is this?

Here we keep for the children
the Christmas presents on.

Santa and me
run the shop together.

And where's the workshop
from Santa Claus?

That's not how it works.

But who then poses
all these presents from?

They are empty.
- Yes.

Otherwise Santa could
don't carry as many packets.

No, these are...

Wish parcel.

Wish parcel?

Yes.

Wish parcel.

Santa Claus can't know

what your children would like
before he sees her.

My children write wish list.

O yes.

But there are so many children out there.

We would drown in paper
if you would send everything here.

That's no joke.

Do you understand, wish package
work as follows:

When children get their parcel,

then they have to wish for
what you would like.

This is how dream packages work.

Maybe you have too
a wish for Christmas?

Yes. I could have one.

Take this here.

But don't forget
to wish you something

before you open it

Wish me something.

Let's see...

That is for Karl.
- You are that.

Is there someone here with that name?

Karl?

What do you wish for

An au
- No no no!

Not say.
You have to think about it.

Wish you.

Yes! Mom, look!

Look!

Ui, ui, ui!
What a great gift!

This is for clays.

Think of what you want.
- Thank you.

That's exactly what I wanted!

There you are. Yes yes, it's ok.
- Thanks a lot!

I'm sure you're hungry.

Do you want to sit down
and I'll get you some Christmas pudding?

No.

I have to watch
that I'm coming home.

Yes.

You have to.

Thank you for
the gifts, children.

Thanks for the sled, carpenter Andersen.
- Thanks for my doll bed.

Thanks for my spinning top.

My pleasure.

Santa's children.

Show it to me.

Thank you, carpenter Andersen.

Thank you for everything.

I thank you for your time
Carpenter Andersen.

We will never forget you.

And I will you

Merry Christmas,
Carpenter Andersen!

- Merry Christmas!

Yes, that was really nice.

Yes Yes Yes.

Oh, you were really phenomenal!

Yes Yes Yes.

And none of them recognized you.

I will never complain again.

What's that?

Merry Christmas.

And how was it?
- Oh hello!

What did my kids say?
- You were very happy.

And now they're waiting
that you will come home soon

Yes...

And how was it for you?
Was Karl afraid?

Not at all.

He even wanted to sit on my lap.

I must say,
your kids have a lot of momentum.

Were they naughty?
- No, not at all.

We had a blast.
Yes / Yes. Great kids.

Your whole family was...

Well i think

I better go then. Yes.

Thank you for your help.
- I have to thank you too. Yes / Yes.

Merry Christmas. Perhaps
do you meet again next year?

Merry Christmas...
Santa Claus.

Take care.
- Take care.

So Andersen had it Christmas Eve

definitely not presented.

He really did met Santa?

He was so puzzled that he was
paid no attention to the way.

And slipped on the ice.

Exactly where he has ever been
had fallen that evening.

Oh no!

No no no!

No no...

Then carpenter Andersen became
suddenly everything is clear.

He had been lying in the snow
and all just dreamed

What should he do now?
Tell his family?

Imagine!

Santa called.

His sleigh had...

a flat tire.

He is waiting for the towing service.

But he will still come.

Before the new year. So...

There you are!

Father!

Look!
Santa Claus was there

and I have one Get racetrack!

Santa was here?

Yes, you missed it again.

Let's swap the cars.
Here, I'll show you how it's done.

Did you get gifts too?

Yes, I have one Get turntables.

But you already know all that.

Have a look.

Let's see...

That's how it's done.

Do you want cake?

Sweetheart?

Hey

Are you all right?

Yes.

Now listen...

Thank you for the gift.

She is beautiful.
That's exactly what I wanted.

I just have to go to the toilet.

Father?

Yes?
- Do you know what I saw?

No.

No.
I don't know for sure.

I saw like mom
kissed Santa Claus.

Mom kissed him?

Certainly?

Yes, honestly, great word of honor.

Well, it's Christmas
and there mom can

Santa Claus give a little kiss.

You are never here,
when Santa Claus comes.

Are you keeping a secret?
- Yes.

That's good because that...

It is a very big secret.

You know,
where I've been tonight

No.

I was with Santa's children
and made gifts for her.

In Santa's house!

Really?
- Yes, it is true.

Just as true
like I'm kneeling in front of you

Did you like the presents?

Yes, I think they were very happy.
Just like you.

This is the best
Christmas at all.

The best?

Yes, I think so too.

It's the strangest Christmas
I've ever celebrated.

Merry Christmas, my boy.

Merry Christmas, dad.

Let's keep an eye out
after Santa Claus?

Maybe we'll see him.
- Yes.

They live in a hut in the forest.

Go in there and keep going.

And so it happened that carpenter Andersen
had a Christmas party,

which he is
could never have imagined.

He never actually got it right
believed in Santa Claus.

But now he knew.

And you now know it too.

Can not you sleep?

No.

That was maybe a day.

Yes.

What kind of.

Now listen.

I'm sorry i
was so quick-tempered

No.

It's me, that caused the Trara.

But in the end everything was wonderful.

You know what?

I take everything back about me
said Santa Claus.

It is without him
not a real Christmas.

Thank you.
That will make him happy to hear.

Yes.

Say hello to him for me.

Merry Christmas, carpenter Andersen.

Merry Christmas.

Could you me please kiss again?
