Plot Synopsis
Imagine a young reindeer boy knowing his Dad is a member of the legendary Santa’s Flying Forces – the coolest reindeers around! But this young boy has never met his real father and no one believes his stories about his famous Dad or his claim that he too will one day fly. They laugh at him - he just falls over all the time! Now he has to prove them wrong…
This adventure tale is about the reindeer boy Niko who yearns to fly just like his Dad. Following an attack by wolves on his herd’s peaceful home, something for which he takes responsibility, he heads off on a desperate, dangerous mission through icy blizzards and across wild terrain to find his father. He discovers a devious plan to destroy and replace the famous flying squadron by the evil Black Wolf and his gang. On his heroic journey to find his father and save Christmas Niko is accompanied by his constant friend and surrogate father Julius - a clumsy flying squirrel who has nurtured and indulged the boy’s dream. Julius knows he has to persuade Niko to return home to the safety of the herd but much to his annoyance they are then joined by a sassy young singing weasel called Wilma, who actually knows the way to Santa’s Fell. In the end though it is Niko who stands alone in front of the flying squadron when he asks, “Which one of you is my father?”
As the brave trio encounter many challenges on their hazardous expedition, Niko faces the biggest one when he must choose between a life he has dreamed about and a life with his family ...
