Looking For Santa

Eight-year-old William lives in a huge mansion with lots of rooms and a butler. But the price is high: even though his super-rich father fulfils his every wish, William feels alone and abandoned. Just before Christmas, in a mixture of anger, defiance and despair, he makes an impossible wish: Father Christmas himself! When his father hires a famous hunter, a catastrophe is in the offing: William's wish threatens to end the magic of Christmas. It's high time he made up for his mistake. This lovingly designed animated film tells an exciting, amusing and also thought-provoking adventure with plenty of wintry charm, carried by a belief in the power of miracles and true friendship - and all in just 28 minutes! And there is something else very special: ‘Looking for Santa’ is also spoken in German. Live voice-over has long been a common practice at international children's film festivals, where the German dialogue is integrated into the film experience after just a short time. Children find this particularly easy. At the same time, they realise that not all films are generally shot in German. The German-spoken version is a premiere. Young audiences who are not yet able to read subtitles can now also enjoy the original version, because with a pleasant voice in their ears that combines the original soundtrack and translation, the original mood of the film can be experienced much more intensely. We would like to thank Charlotta Bjelfvenstam, whose experience with subtitling films at festivals has now made this pleasure possible on our platform.
