Exhausted by loneliness, social anxiety, and the crushing barrage of pressures felt by their generation, three teenagers leave the comforts of home to enrol in a traditional “folk high school” in the wilds of northernmost Norway. Dropped in the arctic wilderness for a year, Hege, Romain, and Bjørn Tore must rely only on themselves and a pack of loyal sled dogs as they take the daunting step from childhood to adulthood. World Premiere at Sundance 2025.
