NORTH “The journey in the film is 1,100 kilometers long. To save time and money we had to concentrate the shoot around two regions. We shot all the scenes before the journey around the city of Trondheim in the middle of Norway, and the rest around Troms County in the North of the country. This location is based approximately 500 kilometers north of the Polar Circle. The film was shot in February and March, which are the toughest winter months and this became an enormous challenge for the crew. It was difficult just to move a few meters to take the next shot.”
Following a nervous breakdown, ski athlete Jomar has isolated himself in a lonely existence as the guard of a ski park. When he learns that he might be the father of a child way up north, he starts on a journey through Norway on a snowmobile, with five liters of alcohol as his sole provisions. On this trip through arctic landscapes, Jomar seems to do everything in his power to avoid reaching his destination.
