En la pequeña ciudad noruega de Skogli, varios personajes que representan una amplia gama de edades y clases sociales se entrecruzan, mezclando el humor con la tragedia, la ternura con la desesperación, abiertos al perdón y a la esperanza. Las diferentes historias tocan todos los aspectos de la convivencia y exploran el amor a cualquier edad y en todas sus fases, desde el nacimiento a la muerte. Este moderno villancico está basado en una selección de historias cortas de la colección “Bare mjuke pakker under treet (Dejad regalos suaves debajo del árbol)”, del autor noruego Levi Henriksen.

Odd Horton is dependable and contained: he's a train driver retiring after 40 years of service, living a simple life. His idea of adventure is to fly from one city in Norway to another. Starting on the night of his retirement dinner, Odd has a series of dislocating experiences: a boy insists that Odd sit by his bedside while he falls asleep; misadventure causes Odd to miss his last run; he witnesses an arrest; he assists an old man and makes a friend; he takes a trip with a blindfolded driver; he adopts a dog; he takes stock late one night at the roundhouse; he revisits his mother's disappointment in him. How should he live the rest of his life?
