"The story so far..." "My whole family was looking forward to celebrating Christmas at Peder's house." "It's going to be the worst Christmas you've experienced." "If you're lucky." "No one in the family knew that Peder and I were enemies." " Can't we go Spain instead?" " Spain?" "So I'm going to divide you into pairs..." "In addition I was paired up for the gingerbread group with Eiril." "Have you become sweethearts?" "Peder!" "But I had discovered a secret valley, where it was Summer in the middle of Winter." "And I had met Skare and Fnugg, who had never seen snow." " But I have." " Really?" "Yes, I see snow every day." "I wade in snow." "There's so much snow that sometimes I get tired of it." " Then could you fill this with snow?" " Sure." "We made an agreement that I would bring snow." "So maybe I could make some new friends too?" "NRK SUPER presents" "A Christmas tale in 24 parts" "The Christmas King" "4th December" " Hi, Kevin." " Hello." "You're up early." "I wondered how it went with the princess test." "Have you heard?" "No, not yet." " Hey, Mira." "Are you okay?" " Ow!" "Ouch!" "Ouch!" "I slept so badly last night." "The pea!" "It's no wonder you have back pain when you've slept on this." " Hey!" "Up already?" " My back hurts." "It's absolutely fantastic!" "Then we'll have a princess breakfast today." " Can I stay?" " Of course." "It'll be ready in about 8 minutes." "When are we going to draw the gingerbread house?" " We'll do it later." " Where are you going?" " I'm meeting some friends." " Friends?" "Yeah." " I didn't know that you had any friends." "What are their names?" " Fnugg and Skare." " Fnugg and Skare?" "It sounds like the names of imaginary friends." "You know you've forgotten your jacket and bag?" "Chocolate spread and cocoa every day." "You are lucky." "Yes, I know." "But soon I'll be even luckier." " Why?" " That's where we'll celebrate Christmas." "And there's a swimming pool and rooms as big as ballrooms." " Why are you celebrating Christmas there?" " Because Dad works a lot for Randi." "and he's helping her prepare for Christmas this year." "Cool!" "It's also because of the mould growing in our house." " Mould?" " Yeah." " Hey..." " Hello." " Shall I clear them out?" " No, it's fine." "I'm nearly finished here." "Thank you." "Wow." "Is it real snow?" " Is it really snow?" "Yes." "Isn't that what I said?" " So soft." " Yes." "And so cold." "What is it you midget pygmies are doing?" "Is it mischief?" " You're not allowed to be here." " We're not allowed to be here." "Stop us, then." "Is that food you have there?" "Oh, it's him." "The greatest Knight in the forest." ""I am the best in class." "I can do everything."" "Ante and Anti, Knight Valley cheats." "They were thrown out of Knight school when young." " Are you bothering the kids?" " No... er.." "Off!" "Get the hell out!" "Now!" " What are you doing?" " Dad, look!" "What's that?" "But it's snow, Fnugg." " Is it really?" " Yeah." " Are you sure?" "It's absolutely amazing." "Where did you get hold of this?" " Who are you?" " My name is Kevin." " Kevin?" " Yes." " Where are you from?" " The Endless Forest." " The Endless Forest?" " Yes." " And it was you who brought this?" " Yes." "Kevin, I think you should join me in a ride to the castle." " The castle?" " Yes." "Sure." "Come here." "We're going to take a ride and talk with Not." "Goodbye." "We must hurry to Not." "(Sage Do not disturb)" "Wait here." "Revered sage Not, leader of the Council." "I know you don't like to be disturbed, but this is important." "I've brought snow." "Snow?" "A boy in the woods came with snow." "Have you forgotten what snow looks like, Morild?" "But that's because it's melted." "Have you received a bump on the head, Morild?" "I'm a knight." "I swear." "The boy is standing outside here." "Not..." "I think this could be the answer to our prayers." "Kevin, come." "Where in all the world and riches can a boy find snow?" "Have you met the king of the forest?" " No." "How can you find snow then?" "Sometimes it's just there." " Where are you from?" " Where do you live?" " At the end of the forest." " Can't remember having seen you before." " Who's your father?" " Anton." "Anton?" " Why don't you have snow here?" " The gauntlet has disappeared." " gauntlet?" "Yes." " Do you know the story about the gauntlet?" " No." " Shall I tell him?" " Yes." "You understand, Kevin, that gauntlet, it belonged to our royal family." "The King could use the gauntlet to control the seasons," "and obtain snow." "But one day a decade ago the King married a beautiful woman." "Everyone thought it was true love, but just after the wedding she disappeared, with the gauntlet." "Some say that she had deceived us and stolen it." "There are hard times in our valley now." "But what does the gauntlet look like?" "Is it black?" "Black?" "No." "It's shiny, made of the finest silver beautiful and shiny." "Ever since the gauntlet was gone, the King has lived alone out in the Woods and looked for it." "He says he will not be king anymore." "At least not until he finds the gauntlet." "Therefore, it's now a council that governs in our valley." "We call the time we live in, the eternal Summer." "Ten years it's been." "Ten years without snow." "And without Christmas." "Kevin..." "Can you get more snow?" "Yes, certainly." " Is that real gold?" " Yes." " Of course." " It's unbelievably cool here." " How many rooms are there here?" " Nearly a hundred." " A hundred?" " Yes." "What's that?" "It was the King and Queen's bedroom before." "There's no one who lives in the castle anymore." "It's completely empty." " Is there really no one who lives here?" " No." " Are you looking forward to the rest?" " Yes, very." "I'm sorry." "Stay away from my stuff!" "How tiring kids are!" "You should look where you're going." "Don't you have eyes?" "How many times have I told you not to play here in the square?" "Kids!" " Who was he?" " Snerk." "The sorcerer." "The king's brother." " He hates kids." "Snerk." "Have you spoken with King Sølve?" "You should keep track of your kids." "Have you talked to Sølve and heard if he's found the gauntlet?" " Yes" " Yes." "I promise." "Is it safe?" "A sorcerer's promise is stronger than 15 donkeys." "How long ago is it since you talked to him?" " Half a year maybe." " Half a year?" "Snerk..." "How do you know if he hasn't found the gauntlet?" "I don't know." "I don't know what he's doing in the forest." "Should have made me the king when we were little." "Then the gauntlet would never have been stolen..." "A little celeriac?" "An egg perhaps?" "We have to go to school now." " Do you have school in the afternoon?" " Yes, sometimes." "Bye." "Knight School starts now!" " Want a parsnip?" " Yes please." "You're welcome." " Hello." " Hi." "Mrs. Andersen called." "Her cat is stuck in the tree again." "Not again." "I'll just have to go up there again." "Why can't there ever be a proper mystery here?" "Why, do you think?" "It's because you're so clever that no one dares do anything wrong here." " Hello." "Hi!" "No, I'll just have to harness up." "Oh well." "I..." "I'm off then." "Goodbye." "Goodbye."
