Lapònia

Cowritten with Marc Angelet.

Mònica, Ramon and their five-year-old son have travelled to Finland to spend the Christmas holidays with Mònica’s sister, her Finnish partner and their daughter. Everything paints an idyllic picture: a little house in the midst of snowy fir trees, log fire, sleighs at the door… But everything comes apart when the daughter of one couple explains to the son of the other that Father Christmas does not exist. From here on, the two couples will contrast two totally opposing ways of educating their children as they debate about truth and lies, traditions and family values. Inevitably, secrets from the past that nobody wanted to dig up will come to light.
