Synopsis
From award-winning filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (12TH & DELAWARE) comes a stunning coming-of-age story from the global North. Three Gen Z teenagers struggling with modern pressures enroll in Pasvik Folkehøgskole, a folk school in northern Norway that instructs young people in cultural heritage and traditional living in northern Scandinavia, including outdoor survival skills. Over the course of a year, Hege, Romain and Bjorn Tore leave their screens behind to bond with their sled dogs and learn to rely on themselves and each other for their most basic needs. Ewing and Grady capture the beauty of this moment in time with three remarkable young people and the special school that changes the course of their lives.
