00:00 Here we are.
00:01 This is it?
00:02 Huh?
00:04 Look at that.
00:06 I still can't believe we inherited this place.
00:09 It's going to be the best Christmas ever, buddy.
00:11 Our backyard's bigger than our whole old neighborhood.
00:13 [crow cawing]
00:15 Yeah, it is.
00:16 In the middle of nowhere?
00:21 Yeah.
00:23 Isn't it great?
00:25 My life is over.
00:26 Come on.
00:27 Let's check out our new digs.
00:29 Here we are.
00:30 Home sweet home.
00:32 Huh?
00:35 Yeah.
00:36 Wow.
00:37 Whoa.
00:38 Yeah, whoa, huh?
00:40 Ew.
00:41 It smells like somebody died.
00:44 I cannot live here.
00:47 [music playing]
01:12 Sure is fresh.
01:13 [music playing]
01:17 It's exciting.
01:18 Yeah.
01:19 This is our future.
01:20 Bed and breakfast.
01:22 It does need a little work.
01:23 Yeah.
01:24 Not much.
01:25 [music playing]
01:27 OK.
01:28 [music playing]
01:31 Ready?
01:32 Mm-hmm.
01:33 [music playing]
01:36 Wow.
01:37 [music playing]
01:40 Wow.
01:41 Yeah, right?
01:42 Wow.
01:43 Needs a bit of work, huh?
01:45 Oh, we'll fix this place up in no time.
01:48 In a year from now, people are going
01:49 to be lining up around the barn to stay here at night.
01:52 You'll see.
01:53 Yeah?
01:54 Yeah, of course.
01:56 You could even have your self-help seminars here.
01:59 Yeah.
02:00 Just think, your concept of happy vision--
02:02 Lucas, don't stay out too long.
02:04 [music playing]
02:08 [music playing]
02:35 [crash]
02:36 [gasp]
02:37 [music playing]
02:39 And that is my great-great-grandfather.
02:43 When he was only 18, he said goodbye to his family
02:46 and hopped on a boat to America.
02:49 He swore he'd come back, but he never did.
02:52 [music playing]
02:55 But here you are.
02:57 [sniff]
02:59 Here we are as a family in our new home.
03:04 You know, I just hope that your kids get used to it
03:07 and that Lucas finally finds a friend.
03:10 [explosion]
03:11 [music playing]
03:14 And us, you together, me as their mom.
03:20 Hey, you've been their mother for years.
03:23 They love you.
03:24 I don't know.
03:25 I just feel like ever since we got married,
03:29 it's like Nora really resents me.
03:31 You guys!
03:33 There's something in the barn.
03:35 What do you mean, something?
03:37 I don't know, but it's something.
03:39 Oh, well, it's probably just the wood.
03:42 Old buildings, they creak and groan.
03:45 Yeah, that's just how it's going to be now living out here.
03:48 Hey, you want to do something fun tonight?
03:51 Sure.
03:52 Should we do what all Norwegians do this time of year?
03:56 Yeah.
03:58 For thousands of years, Norwegians
04:03 have come out on winter evenings to marvel at the sight
04:08 of the great northern lights.
04:10 I can't see [bleep]
04:15 Language.
04:16 I'm cold.
04:18 Can we go inside?
04:19 OK, while we wait for the sky to clear up,
04:21 why don't we have some more of that piping hot glog?
04:23 That'll warm you up, huh?
04:25 Maybe we should call it a night.
04:27 No, no.
04:28 You guys want to go to bed?
04:30 Yeah.
04:31 You're going to miss the northern lights.
04:33 OK, whatever.
04:35 Hey, you know, maybe you should give them a bit of space.
04:45 This is a big change for all of us.
04:51 For all of us.
04:54 [music playing]
04:57 [music playing]
05:01 [music playing]
05:04 Look at this, huh?
05:29 We got everything we need here.
05:31 A ski shop, bakery.
05:34 Another ski shop.
05:36 Wonderful.
05:38 So great.
05:40 Oh, watch out.
05:41 That looks fun, huh?
05:43 Can we go inside?
05:48 It's freezing.
05:50 Hey, don't use the F word.
05:52 You're right.
05:53 I'm sorry.
05:55 It's cold.
05:57 Oh, well, she's not wrong.
05:59 I mean, it is cold.
06:00 Why don't we go in here and grab a little Norwegian treat?
06:04 Don't stay out here long, Lucas.
06:07 Hey, how are you doing?
06:10 Hi.
06:12 Hello.
06:13 This looks cozy, huh?
06:14 Hi.
06:21 I love your onesie.
06:24 Suits you.
06:26 Are you the family that's taking over the Noran farm?
06:28 Yeah, that's us.
06:29 Eric was my uncle.
06:31 I inherited the farm after he passed away.
06:34 Yeah, and now we're moving here.
06:39 So these are the happiest people on Earth.
06:47 [music playing]
06:51 [snoring]
06:54 Yeah.
07:11 [gasps]
07:16 [non-english speech]
07:19 What?
07:20 [non-english speech]
07:24 I'm American.
07:25 Oh, sorry.
07:27 That's a [non-english speech]
07:30 I guess you can call it a barn elf.
07:33 Are they real?
07:35 What do you mean?
07:37 Like, do they exist?
07:39 Yes.
07:44 Are they good or bad?
07:46 If you treat the barn elf nice, he will be good to you
07:50 and help look after the farm.
07:52 But if you make him angry, he will do whatever it
07:56 takes to get rid of you.
07:58 I read tales, actually, about the barn elf breaking
08:01 the necks on the cows and just shoving their carcasses
08:05 into milk containers.
08:08 You know that old dilapidated barn?
08:12 We're turning it into a hotel.
08:15 It's a bit rough, but you get the idea.
08:18 Get back to nature with Nordheim Forest Glade.
08:25 Our barn is your home.
08:27 Briefly--
08:28 Eco-friendly.
08:29 Have you ever heard of Airbnb or Vrbo?
08:33 Home away?
08:35 He's digesting it.
08:36 Yeah.
08:37 Takes a second.
08:38 How do you make him angry?
08:40 Well, it depends.
08:42 Barn elf is very, very old-fashioned and traditional,
08:46 so he hates changes to the farm.
08:49 Secondly, he doesn't like bright artificial light, you know?
08:54 And he hates loud noises.
08:56 So don't take him to a rave party, to put it that way.
09:00 OK.
09:01 Lucas?
09:02 Oh, Lucas, get away from that man.
09:06 Hey, Mom.
09:07 Hi.
09:08 I hope he hasn't been bothering you.
09:09 No, no, no, he's not bothering me.
09:11 I was surprised to see a visitor here, or a visitor at all.
09:16 We don't get any visitors here at all.
09:20 It's very cozy.
09:21 Yes, I guess you are here on the vacation.
09:24 Oh, no, no, no, no.
09:26 We actually just moved here.
09:28 To the-- you know the Nordheim farm?
09:32 You know it?
09:33 To the Nordheim farm?
09:35 Yeah.
09:36 Yeah, yes, yes, I know it, yes.
09:39 Bye.
09:41 OK, let's go.
09:43 [BLANK_AUDIO]
