Synopsis

Set during the Christmas holiday’s season, December is a sweet-natured and present-day coming-of-age tale dealing with rather harsh realities of a family breakdown in the run up to Christmas. After a long time living abroad, Jonni returns home to Iceland to spend Christmas with his family and to record an album with his old band. He soon finds out that family circumstances have changed dramatically and that his friends have moved on. Dealing with this blunt new reality, Jonni also has to wrestle with the reigniting of an old flame, as he helps his family make Christmas merry in spite of everything. Tomas Lemarquis, the star of Noi the Albino (2003), plays Jonni.
