This is the story: Erna Langvik gives her eight-year-old granddaughter a special birthday present: a doll inspired by the traditional Norwegian mythical creature “Nisse”. Nils ‒ as the doll is called ‒ leads a happy life with his new family in Oslo. But due to an accident, Nils finds out that he means a lot more to Erna than just being a birthday present. Without knowing it, he has been carrying a painful secret, and during an adventurous trip to Northern Norway, he helps Erna to make one of the most important decisions of her life.
