“This is a great film to see for those who have never been to Norway, as well as for those who has enjoyed being there many times. The film is about strong Norwegians, who aren’t afraid of the wild power of nature, but on the contrary trials and challenge give them a power. It is astonishing how far they are able to go exploring the wild nature.” Eventus Group
