Martin has taken a timeout from his boring office job, his wife and twin daughters to live as a wild man in the Norwegian forests in favor of something more authentic, something that can challenge him and provoke the manhood and spark of life he feels he has lost. Here, Martin meets Musa, a young criminal who is on the run from the police Musa has been seriously injured with his leg and needs Martin's help to manage in the woods. Therefore, he fails to talk about money and police, and instead of a magical man's camp not so far away. Martin thinks it sounds like paradise, and throws everything he scraps all his plans, including the one to go home, to help Musa. Together they depart, sharply pursued by both the police, Musa's rivals and Martin's wife. (Nordisk Film Den.)

A funny and highly stylized comedy about a guy who wants to be away from his family, his job and his problems. The film indirectly confronts societal issues where men are raised to be tough, yet secretly they don't even know how to fight their inner problems so they simply try to escape them. The film doesn't try to impose anything on anyone and doesn't lecture anyone. The film is very easy to watch, it just entertains. Each character has a goal, which is actually quite different, and so everyone will find what interests them in the film. The icing on the cake are the absolutely spectacular shots of the Norwegian fjords and landscape.
