About the Film

Ten-year-old Ronja lives in a apartment complex but dreams of a log cabin in the woods, where wolves howl under a starry sky. It’s December, and Dad is out of work again – until one day he lands a job selling Christmas trees. At last, the apartment smells of pine needles and the fridge is full, if only for a short while. But sometimes the temptations become too much for Dad, and Ronja and her older sister Melissa have to fend for themselves. Together, they take over the Christmas tree sales and learn that even when life is really tough, a quick mind, playful optimism, and a handful of good helpers can take you a long way.
