The movie

Martin has a mid-life crisis. He abandons his family and goes live as a hermit in the Norwegian mountains. But surviving in the wild proves harder than expected, especially after he meets Musa, a criminal on the run.

Going through his mid-life crisis, Martin abandons his wife and kids to go live alone in the Norwegian mountains. He wishes to awaken the hunter within him and thus reconnect with his virility. To do so, he lives there in the wild, like his ancestors before him. While on the run from both the police and his family, he makes friends with Musa, another runaway. Their journey helps us explore the crisis of masculinity as well as our connected world through a typically Nordic dark humour.
