Larsen, an aspiring poet in '20s Oslo, leaves his girlfriend to spend a year as a trapper in East Greenland. There he is teamed with a seemingly rough old sailor/trapper, Randbæk, and a scientist, Holm. Trapped in a tiny hut together as the Arctic winter sets in, a complex and intense love/hate relationship develops between Randbæk and Larsen, who are more similar than either would like to admit. A powerful psychological and physical drama set against stunningly bleak Arctic scenery.

VIBE

A starkly beautiful, psychologically intense drama. The vast, frozen landscape mirrors the characters' internal struggles, creating a palpable sense of isolation and simmering tension. It's a chilling, character-driven exploration of human connection in extreme conditions.
