CGiii Comment
Strange...yet, weirdly enjoyable.
Two men sit with alcohol soaked tampons stuck onto their freshly shaved heads - one is a homophobic, closeted gay Adonis and the other is a fat lump who has just had a nervous breakdown...
Beautifully shot with eccentricities by the snow-load.

The(ir) Blurb...
NORTH 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 sets on a strange and poetic journey through Norway on a snowmobile, with 5 liters of alcohol as sole provisions. On this trip through amazing arctic landscapes, Jomar seems to do everything in his power to avoid reaching his destination. He meets other tender and confused souls, who will all contribute to push Jomar further along his reluctant journey towards the brighter side of life.
