His dad’s demanding work schedule leaves 13-year-old Jas home alone for the weekend. Left to his own devices, Jas spends time in the massive, glass greenhouse in his backyard, letting his imagination flourish as it did when his mother was still alive. On one fateful day, Jas finds old, frail Alva and a young girl, Neia, hiding in his family’s barn. The pair come from the forest, but they are on the run from a dangerous threat and cannot return home. Curious about these peculiar strangers, Jas invites them inside for food, warmth, and safety from whomever they say is after them. Much to his surprise, Jas soon discovers his new friends are actually elves who possess coveted pearls with life-saving healing powers. Knowing these precious pearls must be protected, Jas must do everything he can to save Alva and Neia from imminent danger. A family-friendly fantasy, LAND OF GLASS tells a tale of daring bravery, loyal friendship, and a quest to free the soul. (In Danish with subtitles) —A.B.
