Here's a description of the film.
The dizzyingly beautiful mountainous landscapes of Norway provide the backdrop for this immersive story of a family whose lives are linked intrinsically to their environment.
Set in the valley of the Jostedalsbreen Glacier, in the north of Norway, it is a portrait of the director Margreth Olin’s parents, in particular her father and his life-long and intimate relationship to the land he lives in.
Filmed across the seasons, she takes the viewer on an existential journey, from family folklore to the best place to plant a Christmas tree.
Produced by Wim Wenders and Liv Ullmann.
I travelled to Norway some years ago, and managed to make my way close to where this film was made, and some similar glaciers, but not the particular one featured here.
The soundtrack by Rebekka Karijord is on Spotify.
