Based on the world famous children’s book by Selma Lagerloef.

Nils the peasant boy keeps tormenting the animals on the farm, so after an imp turns him into a dwarf as punishment, the animals are keen to take revenge on him. It is Akka the farm goose who gives him a second chance. He climbs on her back and flies south with her and a flock of wild grey geese. On the long, tiring and dangerous journey, Nils and the wild geese become friends, and he learns to love the animals. In the end, having learned his lesson, he grows back to his normal size.
