বাংলা
পুরো ফ্যামিলি অ্যাডভেঞ্চার ফিল্ম 'ফ্যান্টম আউল ফরেস্ট' একটি ১০ বছর বয়সী ইয়াকে নিয়ে নির্মিত, যার ক্রিসমাসের ছুটি একটি অপ্রত্যাশিত মোড় নিয়েছে, এস্তোনিয়ার গ্রামীণ এক রহস্যময় খামারে যাওয়ার পরে। সে তার মনের কথা শুনেছে একটি পুরোনো আদ্য বনকে বাঁচানোর জন্য, দুটি প্রেমিককে একে অপরকে খুঁজে পেতে সহায়তা করে। তাছাড়াও তার অদৃষ্টে ছিল তার পরিবারের না জানা গোপনীয়তা প্রকাশ করা।
Original Language
Seiklusrikas laste jõulufilm kümneaastasest Eiast, kelle plaanid võtavad ootamatu pöörde, kui linnatüdruk viiakse talvevaheajaks ürgse loodusega salapärasesse Lõuna-Eesti tallu. Eia ei oska esialgu aimatagi, et õige pea asub ta päästma hukule määratud põlismetsa, kokku viima kaht armastavat inimest ning lahti harutama oma pere kiivalt hoitud saladust. ilmi autor Anu Aun on varasemalt silma paistnud kodumaise kinopubliku südameid võitnud mängufilmiga “Polaarpoiss” ning rahvusvahelisel areenil rohkete auhindadega pärjatud lühimängufilmiga “Vahetus”. “Eia jõulud Tondikakul” on Auna teine täispikk mängufilm.
