Kari Juusonen, Jørgen Lerdam, Finland, 2012

76 min.FeatureChildren's films, Animation

A young reindeer boy Niko - who we know from the story of "Niko & The Way to the Stars" - has always lived with just his Mom Oona, Secretly, Niko wishes that his Mom and his hero Dad, Prancer, one of the world famous Santa¿s Flying Forces, would reunite and that they could all live happily together like a "normal" family. One day Oona tells Niko some surprising news: She has met a guy, an ordinary reindeer guy called Lenni. He and his little son Jonni will be moving in! Niko¿s world is rocked: Not only will he not be the only child anymore, but he has to live with, and look after this new, little cutie-cute step-brother - not exactly Niko's dream life... After being upset about how sweet everybody thinks Jonni is, Niko takes the little kid to play hide-and-seek in the woods. While playing, Niko can't help but think how much better life would be if Jonni would just simply disappear. And then..... It happens!
