Folktales

Troubled teenagers run wild with Norwegian huskies.

Exhausted by loneliness, social anxiety, and all the crushing pressures felt by Gen Z, three teenagers make the daring decision to leave the comforts of home to enroll in a traditional “folk high school” in the wilds of northern Norway. Dropped in the Arctic wilderness for one year, Hege, Romain, and Bjørn Tore must rely on themselves and a pack of loyal sled dogs as they take the daunting step from childhood to adulthood.

Freed of technology, social media, and the noise of modern life, this brave trio learn to face themselves for the first time, and experience an unexpected, wondrous transformation.
