Nils Holgersson's wonderful journey

Nils is not particularly popular on the family farm because he has no respect for either people or animals. During a quarrel with the house gnome, he is transformed into a gnome himself. When Nils tries to stop the house goose Martin from flying north with a flock of wild geese, the animal drags him along. On Martin's back, Nils begins his great journey, which will take him all the way to the far north of Lapland. Nils' friend Åsa sets out to find him. Nils' and Åsa's paths often cross unnoticed, and they experience many adventures together. Back home, the gnome faces the loss of his magical powers if Nils and Martin do not return to the farm in time. If they fail, Nils will have to remain a gnome forever. The gnome sends the raven Bataki after Nils. However, Bataki and Akka, the wise old wild goose, have made their own plans.
