Rare Exports: a Christmas Tale (2010)



Young Pietari lives with his stern reindeer-herding father Rauno in arctic Finland. On the eve of Christmas, an enormous excavation at a nearby mountain disturbs the locals and captures Pietari´s curiosity. When Rauno´s reindeer herd is mysteriously slain and the children in town go missing, Pietari realizes that the dig has unearthed the evil Santa Claus of local lore. Pietari´s father rounds up a posse and captures the nightmarish creature in an attempt to sell him. But
Santa´s freakish elves will do anything to free their leader.
