Stranded at Oslo airport, only 24 hours before Christmas, people find themselves in each their dilemmas. Some are there to welcome their loved ones, some to fly home to their families, some work at the airport, and some who want to fly away and avoid the festivities. Their Christmas plans go awry.

About the Series

In six episodes we are offered this multiple narrative that covers a broad array of scenarios up to Christmas time. A refreshing Christmas story with its innovative premise. It is not a highly sophisticated production, but counts on good performances, and the varied characterizations make it more interesting as a story. True to the Christmas productions it retains a lighthearted tone, despite that some of the stories told are heartrending.

This is definitely a good alternative for the audience who is seeking something more realistic in its characterizations, without it being too intimate and heavyhearted.
