Christmas Eve has come early in northern Finland, and a "archeological" dig has just found the genuine Santa Claus, according to local legend. That said, this particular Santa isn't the kind of Santa you want to see in your neighborhood. Following a mysterious disappearance of all the local children, little Pietari and his father Rauno, who is a reindeer hunter by trade, capture Santa Claus and attempt to sell him to the deluded boss of the international firm that is financing the dig. Santa's elves, on the other hand, are prepared to go to any length to release their courageous master from captivity. What follows is a brilliantly amusing nightmare-a fantastically strange diatribe on contemporary morals-that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. EXPORTS THAT ARE RARE: A CHRISTMAS TALE is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood tales, and it is a darkly comedic masterpiece that will soon become essential viewing over the holidays every year.
