Overview
Journey to the Christmas Star is a Norwegian fairy-tale adventure film from 2012 directed by Nils Gaup. The film is based on Sverre Brandt's 1924 play Reisen til Julestjernen and is considered a remake of the 1976 film with the same name. The story begins when a 13-year-old kind-hearted girl named Sonja arrives at a tiny village together with a company of bandits. The village is under a curse because a long time ago, the King's only daughter Goldhair disappeared while searching for the Christmas Star. Following this loss, the Queen died of a broken heart, leaving the shattered King on his own. The King then cursed the Christmas Star, which caused darkness and grief to descend upon the land. An old sage revealed that Goldhair is still alive and will return only if the King finds the way back to the Christmas Star.
