Program Note

Bill, inherited an old house that has been passed down for generations, moves from the United States to Norway with his family with plans to start a lodging business. Unlike Bill, who is full of dreams of starting a new life in a new environment, her children are dissatisfied with their life in the countryside, where there is no proper shopping mall and cell phones do not work well. Meanwhile, Bill's son Lucas discovers an elf in the barn and gets closer little by little, but tensions rise between Bill's family, who are trying to remodel the barn, and the elves, who are trying to protect it. There's Someone in Our Barn is a crazy horror comedy combining Christmas family comedy with gore actions. If you're expecting cute elves guarding a Nordic winter garden, you're wrong. The murderous action of the elves, who inflict bloody punishment on the humans who attack the barn, exceeds the level of most gore movies. The main elf who shares friendship with Lucas is played by the actor/stunt person Kiran Shah, who boasts appearances in the Superman, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings series. (Jin PARK)
