About the films
Den veganske tannbørsten (2019)
As the luxury apartment ship The World sails past Lofoten, climate revolutionaries Amelia (14) and Steven (12) hijack the vessel, as part of their plan to eliminate society's worst enemy: indifferent adults.
Leirdue (2018):
When the ship Hurtigruten sank to the bottom, also known as "Northern Norway's Titanic", there was only one survivor. In Leirdue, this young man Azaar (Benjamin Hov Golas) is invited with his miraculous story of suffering to perform in a classic armchair interview with TV personality Synne (played by deputy mayor of Bodø, Synne Høyforsslett Bjørbæk).
Trhe trilogy Et liv uten ekko (2014-2016):
Lightning has struck down pop artist Thor, but he survived until now. Due to his weakness for spectacular revelations, Thor decides to twist and turn this near-death experience into something dramatic and image-building.
