BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
DECEMBER 1ST (THREE WEEKS EARLIER)
I know it's Christmas,
but you don't get into the holiday spirit when it's sunny.
-I need to get home to Norway. -Yeah.
-I'm so excited. -There's so much to do.
-It's okay, Mom. You've got time. -Yes, but still…
-Has it been snowing a lot? -Sure, but tell me about your boyfriend!
Well, you can meet him if you come to visit us.
We're settling in nicely. We're doing very well.
We've almost unpacked everything.
Hold on, Mom. Hello?
Oh my God!
What is it?
Mom, I'll call you back.
MOM
Ladies and gentlemen, we are going in for landing at Oslo Airport.
Please fasten your seat belt and make sure the trays…
A boys' trip.
Hello.
-Oh, Mom! -Hello, hello.
Oh, hello.
Hi.
So good to see you, Thea.
My little girl.
I've missed you.
Welcome home.
-You've decorated so nicely. -Thank you.
-But you have to meet-- -Yes!
Thank you.
What?
It's not him. It is…
Jash, as in Jashan.
Oh.
-Mom, it's Jashan. -Yes.
Balder!
Hey!
Hey, Balder.
-What's up with Balder? -Well, sometimes he reacts to…
To?
To… people who are so unfamiliar.
It's very nice that you made some, but I think…
-We're tired and ate on the plane. -Yeah.
I think we're gonna go to bed.
Thank you.
Håndkle.
-Håndkle. Takk. -Yeah.
You're welcome.
Good morning.
You're up early.
Yeah, I'm really jet-lagged.
I've put on some coffee if you want.
Have you talked to Jørgen since…
No, I haven't.
No, I just mean…
I know that it hasn't been easy for him either.
The breakup.
No, I'm sure it hasn't, but it was a long time ago, Mom.
No, it's just a shame that it had to end like that.
You and the boy next door.
All that stuff just got too complicated.
Yeah, but you know that
Dad and I always thought it was going to be the two of you.
You're up early as well.
I'm going to get started on the rice pudding now
because…
Dad always used to make it two days in advance.
So I better get started.
So… is Shazam asleep?
Jashan is asleep.
Yeah.
Right.
You could have told me a little earlier
that he is…
That he is?
Indian?
Is that okay to say, though? "Indian"? Is that allowed?
Yes, Mom. You can say Indian.
Fine. But do I have to make two Christmas dinners now?
I don't know.
I know that Norwegian and Indian cultures are incredibly different.
-What have you been googling now? -I haven't been googling.
There's just so much to do before Christmas.
I have to prepare the medister meatballs, and then we have to get firewood.
Your brother gets stressed out if we don't have firewood.
And now I might have to make two Christmas dinners.
I don't know your boyfriend, and I don't know what they eat in India for Christmas.
DECEMBER 22ND (TEENY TINY CHRISTMAS)
Yes, I'm coming.
What is it?
Merry Christmas!
-Hey. -Hey.
-Nice to see you. -Hello, you!
Hi. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas! And look at you!
Yes, look at me!
Merry Christmas!
Who is that?
Is that Josh?
Jashan.
Oh, Jashan.
Hello.
-Okay. -Yeah.
Am I a horrible human being if I say that I'm a little surprised?
He's Indian. So what?
That's really exciting!
It's not exciting.
Yes, it's very exciting.
There are a billion Indians, so the odds of meeting one are pretty big.
I think he's very handsome.
Shit chair.
-Okay, shit chair. -He's very handsome.
What was that?
What was that grunt?
I didn't grunt.
That smile?
What's going on?
-I wasn't supposed to tell you yet. -What?
What? Fucking hell.
Huh? Are you kidding?
Are you kidding? You just met.
What did Anne-Lise say?
-I haven't told her yet. -You haven't.
I'm waiting for the perfect timing.
Right. And you thought…
that might be Christmas?
Yeah?
That's a really bad idea.
Yeah, it's a bad idea.
Nah.
This is going to be great!
-Shit chair. -Shit chair.

Don't eat the decorations, Hildegunn.
-Is it decorations? I didn't know. -It is decorations.
-Help me in the kitchen, will you? -Yes, of course.
Ronja, don't eat these.
Simen, we are not supposed to eat these.
Oh, I know, Hildegunn.
Sorry, Anne-Lise. I didn't know…
-Aunt Thea? -Oh!
What did he say?
-Hello. -Hi, Mom.
What is that smell?
It smells so good!
Do you think so?
No. Maybe I exaggerated a little.
Is something burning?
Thea? What in the…
What the f--
It might not be exactly
the dinner we're used to for Teeny Tiny Christmas.
It was a tradition, though.
Dad always used to make
meatballs on Teeny Tiny Christmas, and you all really liked it.
Really, really liked it.
But maybe we can just give this a try?
Did you hear that? Did you hear that?
-No one heard that? -What?
-Can you hear it? -No, what?
-It was just Dad turning in his grave. -Stop it.
Ronja, Dad is joking. Grandpa is dead.
He hasn't risen from the dead. He is not moving at all.
May God be with him.
Thank you for keeping an open mind.
For God's sake.
We've been eating meatballs every year.
Yes, yes.
We eat Indian food.
We love Indian food.
Ronja, don't you agree? They serve good food at the Chinese place.
It does smell.
What is that?
-Hmm? -What is that?
That is called "pantipum."
And this is naan.
Maybe use your hands…
-Yeah. -"Sounds like"? It literally is.
Okay, guys…
Are you okay, Mom?
Dad.
Was it a little spicy?
What is it? Are you okay?
-I'll go with Mom. -If you have to spit it out, use this.
Anne-Lise doesn't want it on her rug.
You guys are being very dramatic.
We're being dramatic?
-No, Jashan. -Yes.
-No? -Yes!
No, no, no.
-Don't take the pudding. We need it for-- -Mom, come on! We don't have a choice.
But Dad said it needs to stay…
-Longer. Are you sure? -Eat, eat.
Oh, it burns.
I think it needs more time to set.
I don't know if Simen told you,
but I lived in India for a couple of months after high school.
-What? -Yes.
It doesn't matter what it means, does it?
Thea, it is important, because it's a tattoo.
It's cut into my body until I die.
I want to know what it says.
Coming down!
DECEMBER 23RD (TINY CHRISTMAS)
"Out on a hike, what's not to like?"
Out on a hike, what's not to…
Hello.
No. Out on a hike, what's not to like?
Come on! Go, go, go!
-Hi. -Hi.
So, what do you guys think?
Should we get going?
Maybe you should go in advance?
So we can ski at our tempo, so he doesn't feel…
-Go ahead? -We always ski together.
I know, but it's a bit different.
We're supposed to make gingerbread cookies together.
Can't we make gingerbread cookies some other time?
Of course! We can move the gingerbread cookie making to Easter.
Totally.
All right…
-I need to pack the rucksack. -Take this…
-Hi. -Hi.
Where are they?
It's getting dark.
Do you want me to ask Simen to look for them?
-No. -No.
No, let him relax. He's put on his comfy joggers…
with a glass of Christmas soda in his hand,
getting into the spirit with Die Hard.
Hi.
Hey, Thea.
Hey, Jørgen.
Are you going somewhere? What are you doing here?
Anne-Lise called.
She was worried that…
Worried you were lost.
No.
No, I'm not lost.
Thanks for the ride.
Merry Christmas.
Don't you think you should get a new apron?
-This? -Soon? Yeah?
Are you joking?
I've always had it. Lasse gave it to me when we were…
So you thought it was a good idea to call my ex?
I was worried about you two. I got scared.
Mom, that is a very weird thing to do.
-No. -Yes.
It's not that weird.
Remember that before he was your ex, he was the kid next door.
So if you think it's weird, it's because you're making it weird.
-Okay. -Mm-hmm.
I almost forgot. When are we doing our Christmas dip tomorrow?
Can't we just do it when we wake up?
Yes.
Are you bringing…
He could die, Simen.
DECEMBER 24TH (CHRISTMAS MORNING)
Hi.
Merry Christmas!
Of course you're here.
Yeah. It's tradition.
Isn't it a bit too cold for him?
-Hi! -Hello.
-You must be cold. -Not at all.
It's so nice that you came.
Merry Christmas, Anne-Lise!
Merry Christmas. This is so nice.

Hi, ba.
Hi.
Can you hear me? Hello. Hi.
We're at church right now.
No, they're not Christian.
They just come to church for Christmas.
Oh, I don't know.
That's just it.
They do weird things, and when I ask why, it's just tradition.
Thea, can you please stop your boyfriend?
Yes, I will.
-This is not okay. -Yes, shush.
They do weird things all the time. If you ask why,
"That's just how it is…"
Hi.
DECEMBER 24TH (CHRISTMAS EVE)
How are you, Ronja?
Fine.
Are you excited about tonight?
Jashan is sorry for ruining your moment in church.
There's not much left for him to ruin now.
It's Christmas Eve.
That's true.
It's just Christmas.
-Do you like it? -Great crispy pork crackling, Mom.
Thank you, my boy.
-Yes, of course. -Yes. I remember now.
Ronja, you have to eat your food, not just move it around.
I don't like it.
What?
Grandma has spent so much time making it. You have to taste it.
Otherwise, it'll be too dry.
Um, cheers!
Yes.
Cheers.
Cheers!
Merry Christmas!
-Merry Christmas. -Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Now this is more like it!
Has he been seasoning my pork with garlic powder and piri-piri?
I'll go and get some more sausages.
-Are you done? -Yes.
Have the rest.
-Thea? -Yeah?
Thea, Santa is here!
One last present.
What does it say on this one?
-To Aunt Thea. -Of course.
-Come on, Aunt Thea. -You must come and get your present.
Yeah.
Maybe you want to sit on Santa's lap?
I think I'll stand.
-You have to sit. -Yes, you have to sit.
There we go. This is cozy.
Have you been a good girl this year, Aunt Thea?
Maybe someone is upset
he's not getting a present from Santa this year?
Well, it's getting late, little Ronja.
Rudolph is outside waiting,
and the night is still young.
Merry Christmas to you all.
Merry Christmas.
Jør… Santa!
I think you should leave.
Yes.
I think Santa should get going.
Goodbye and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Let's bring the candy to…
-I'm gonna chop some wood. -I'll start the dishes.
Look at the nice colors.
Don't you want one?
Christmas as usual.
Aunt Thea?
Are you sad?
No. You can't be sad on Christmas Eve.
Where is Shazam?
Well, he…
He had to go home.
Is he coming back?
There are many presents left, Ronja. Why don't you go get one more?
Sure.
Merry Christmas, Thea.
From…
Jashan.
Oh!
Shazam is cool.
Yes.
He is actually really cool.
Jesus Christ!
But he beat up Santa.
Aunt Thea.
It wasn't Santa.
It was just Jørgen who was pretending because he is in love with you.
I don't think he's actually in love.
Yes, he is.
He's in love.
But…
But Jashan ruined your song in church, and you were so excited about it.
Not really. I just sang because Mom says that Grandma wants me to.
No, Ronja.
It wasn't quite like that.
Kids say the darnedest things.
I like it when the children sing.
I was thinking. Your bunad is so beautiful.
I think it's exquisite.
I have to go.
But it's Christmas Eve.
-I don't give a shit. -You can't say "shit."
I don't give a shit.
-Where are you going? -The airport.
Sweetheart, are you sure…
No, I'm not sure, Mom. I'm not.
I just can't listen to you right now.
And I know you think that my relationship with Jashan is just a phase
because I've messed around so much.
But it isn't.
Maybe you should go and play with your Christmas gifts.
Okay.
I've just tried to make everything right this Christmas
because I know it's important to you and because
I wanted to do it like we always did it with Dad
to help Jashan fit in and…
And to make you like him.
But I've failed…
I have failed miserably.
But it's not mine or Jashan's job to make you like him.
This was supposed to be happy news,
but I might as well say it now since everyone is in such great spirits.
I'm getting married.
Yes.
Pretty stupid to throw him out on Christmas Eve, then.
-Simen! -But it is.
I'm sorry.
When you dated Jørgen,
I thought my life was perfect.
You were supposed to live in the house next door,
and your kids were supposed to come to our house to do homework
and eat cinnamon buns.
But then, Dad died.
And you left.
I'm the one who should say sorry.
I'm just afraid to lose you.
I'm not going anywhere.
Yes, you are.
There is a reason you don't drink alcohol on Christmas Eve.
It's gonna be fine.
You didn't all have to come with me.
Of course we had to come. We all have to apologize.
Can we please slow down a bit?
We are on our way to the airport on Christmas Eve.
We're getting her fiancé. This is the most romantic thing I've ever experienced.
-Shut up, please. -Saying shut up is not allowed.
Your mom is allowed to say shut up.
Okay.
Shut up.
We're not going to make it.
Of course we're going to make it.
Okay.
I feel so alive.
ONE YEAR LATER
"To Jashan, from Anne-Lise.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much, Anne-Lise.
Guys.
