The Christmas Ferry

About This Movie

The Christmas Ferry is one of those quirky gems from the '90s that really captures a specific vibe, you know? It's set against the backdrop of western Norway, and you've got this oddball ferry crew trying to save their beloved M/F 'Svelå' from closure. Then there's this bizarre twist with three Cubans living in a shipwreck on the seabed, trying to make contact. The pacing is unconventional—slow at times, but it builds that ridiculous tension. The humor is offbeat, mixing music and comedy in a way that feels distinctly European, with practical effects that add to its charm. You might not find it on everyone’s radar, but it's distinctive for what it tries to accomplish, blending absurdity with a touch of holiday spirit.
