Plot
when Jesper is chosen as the postal academy's worst student, he is stationed on a frozen island above the Arctic Circle, where the feuding locals hardly exchange words let alone letters and not only that, they are proud of being an unhappy place. One day, Jesper met Klaus, a very mysterious carpenter who lives hidden in the forest. When the young mailman discovers that Klaus has in his home lots of wooden toys made by him, he proposes Klaus to give them to the children who live in the city. After that, between the children runs a rumor which says that if they write a letter to Mister Klaus, they will receive wherever they ask for at night. When the neighbors noticed that the mailman and the carpenter are breaking the unhappiness of the place, they will try to make things difficult for them.

Trivia
Trip to Norway
Neda Labba, who voiced the Sami girl Márgu, did not speak any English. Sergio Pablos traveled all the way to Tromsø, Norway where she lives and did her whole recording session through translation and mimicry.
In memory of Mary Lescher
This was the last film animator Mary Lescher worked on. The film is dedicated to her.
Inspired by 'Apocalypse Now'
Although Klaus is old school hand drawn animation the makers used computers to give the scenes a special, realistic light. The scene where Klaus is first seen coming out of the dark is inspired by the Colonel Kurtz shots from Apocalypse Now
