In Vårby farm outside Stockholm, a fairy-tale world has been built for the recording of this year's Christmas calendar "Trolltider - the legend of the Bergatrollet".
Among the actors are names such as Kjell Bergqvist, Nour El-Refai and Malte Gårdinger.
Director Lisa Farzaneh wants to take the memory of old "Trolltider" and translate it to today.
- It will be a new story but more exciting.
"Sune's Christmas" will meet "The Lord of the Rings", although it must be suitable for the whole family, says Lisa Farzaneh.
The main characters Saga and Love are played by Matilda Gross and Ossian Skarsgård respectively.
They see it as a great opportunity to be included in the Christmas calendar.
- For me it is unimaginable and I am very grateful.
It's a nice story and a nice script.
It really is like entering a fairy tale, says Matilda Gross.
- I say the same.
I've always seen the Christmas calendar and it's always cool.
This Christmas it will be special when you see yourself.
It's so much fun to be in this environment, says Ossian Skarsgård.
Honor the memory of troll times
When a classic Christmas calendar is brought back to life there is some concern about disappointing people, but according to Lisa Farzaneh it's mostly a "peppery nervousness".
- We want to honor the memory of "Trolltider".
I belong to the generation that enjoyed that Christmas calendar the most.
As long as you honor it and keep what was good, I think you can feel the same love, she says.
The classic Christmas calendar "Trolltider" was shown on the television screen in 1979 and became popular.
It was repeated during both the 80s and 90s.
Some of the characters we remember from the original are Daisy, Gloria and Kotten.
