[NOR] The Julekalender Episode 1

Once upon a time
A long, long time ago

In a deserted and weathered
the humans shall once call:

Trøndelag

There lived Nisse people

They lived in peace and harmony
and ate and sang and worked in their caves

Until the evil people of darkness came
The Nåsåer on an evil day

The Nisse people were
driven away by the Nåsåer

Luckily they managed to get
the big wise book

Because if that fell in the Nåsåer's hands,
the humans would be doomed

All of the Nisse caves were destroyed.
Except for one

that the Nåsåaer never found

A tiny farm was built
near this cave.

The potato farmer Olaf Sand and his
wife Gjertrud and the dog Kvikk

It is a dark and stormy night.

Olaf, can you remember where we put
the big box with the Christmas ornaments?

We are going to prepare for
Christmas soon.

Aren't we-
It's only Christmas once in a year!

Yeah, that's just peachy

Far away, at the word's end

Lays the Nisse Gammelnokk
[Old enough] for his death

The music box that is playing
his life's melody is about to stop.

He had to leave the only key that
can wind it up at the cave

When the Nisse people were
chased by the Nåsåer

Gammelnokk asked for help from
the three Nisse Fritz, Hansi, and Gynter

He asks them to go back
to the cave in Trøndelag to get the key

He gives them a map that
shows where the cave is

and he gives them the key
to the entry of the cave.

To aid their journey he's also
giving them the big wise book

that can answer almost everything

He explains that it can never
fall into the hands of a Nåsåer

that still live in the old country.

They are especially dangerous
because they have taken human form.

There is only one thing that can
make them return to their old form,

and all of this is explained
in the old wise book.

Gammelnokk asks them to hurry,
for his powers are about to die out.

Olaf, it's only 4 days until my sister
and Kai are going to Rhodes.

That's one way to celebrate
your silver wedding.

Without having a party
it's completely alright.

It must be delightful to go to Rhodes.

Do you think we will ever go there?

We need to visit a book store
when we visit the town tomorrow.

I need a bit of glossy paper
to make Christmas decorations.

And I need...
I need a bit glue

Move your feet so I can get
under the table!

And I think while you're busy
talking to the people at the factory,

I could talk to the hairdresser.

She's probably busy,
and she probably doesn't have the time.

But I thought since I was already in town
that I could still ask her there

instead of calling her
to get my hair done.

Well that was just peachy.

Wasn't it you who was supposed
to fill the plane with fuel?

Look what happened to the propeller
when we crashed.

It's completely bent.

It's very much so.

Wasn't it you who filled the plane
with fuel?

No, it wasn't me.

Was it you?

No, I packed the backpack
and the tool box.

What were you doing?

I was getting the backpack case!

Then we have one tool box
too many.

That's not funny at all!

What are we going to do?

Where are we now?

We could check the book!

Just what I was going to say!

Shit! It's in Norwegian!

Now let's see, gang

When you have gotten lost,
then look at the map.

Where is the map?

What map?

The map, Gunter

I have it right here
In my rear pocket

Let's see.
We are there.

Where is the cave?

I think we should... Go that way!

I think it's unfair that it's always me
who has to carry the backpack.

It's hurting my shoulder blades.

There's so much whining with you.
Get yourself together!

Because you're the one with
the ugliest clothes and the longest face.

It's hard to be a Nisse man.

Olaf, do you know what I
wish for Christmas?

I wish for a food processor.

Well that's just peachy,

but we can't afford it.

We don't have a lot since
we have paid our taxes and such,

But we can save a bit of money though!

I said no!

Yes, hello
this is Sand

Yeah, of course it's potato.
How much are you buying?

Yes, you're getting that.

Yes, it will be about 150-

Receipt?

No, I don't use that.

It's not worth it.

200
Black

Not more, nor less.
That's it.

Yes, we are saying that.

Goodbye then.

That's just peachy.

Who was it?

Oh, it was a wrong number.

Where in hell is that cave?
It was supposed to be here!

The map!

I can't understand this sentence.

It says:
When the hour is 5,

the shadow of the big tree
falls on the entry.

What tree?
That tree!

That's lucky!
The hour is 5 in a few seconds.

Let's hurry to find the big tree.

Where is the shadow?

It's on the other side of the tree

Hey! It's here! The entry!

Who's entry?
The cave entry!

Come over here with the paraffin lamp!

Well? Who has the key?
What key?

The cave key!

I have it here!

Put it in the key hole, Gunter!
Yes! Yes!

The cave!

We must not lose hope.

Look at all that cobweb.

Oh my back!

There's a chair.

I say!

It's a Nåsåer!
The paraffin lamp.

I could give him some banging!
The paraffin lamp!

Well, it has been a long day,
so let's take it easy.

Then we will find the key tomorrow

It's hard to be a Nisse man.

So much whining with you, Hansi.

Yeah, it's hard to be a Nisse man.
I say, yeah it's hard to be a Nisse.

After our country has been
in a cultural vacuum since the Olympics

There is finally preparations for skiing
in 1997 in Trondheim

The arrangement will make the Olympics in
Lillehammer look like a town meeting

"Nothing will be held back"
says the committee

The tourists will really
experience something big

Trondheim is an experience
in its self

There will also be plans of horn music
in the stadium

And carnival in the town

We only need a few hundred thousand
krone before everything is settled

And we're taking that from bingo

Norway's skiing league also
thinks of the ones in need

That's why it's suggested that
the Swedish ski jumpers

Will get to start two allocates higher
than others

The weather:
The low pressure goes further north

And the storm will keep going

We may get strong wind and hurricanes
by the coast

The temperature will stay the same

That was like damn

I can't remember it blowing for so long

That was like damn

We need to hope
it will stay the same tomorrow

Yes, that would be just peachy

Who is the mysterious person in the dark?

Will the Nisse find the key
to the music box?

What about the propel?

Is this an advent calendar?

Find out tomorrow
