Set against the sweeping, snow-laden landscapes of Arctic Norway, the film follows a group of teenagers embarking on a transformative year at Pasvik Folk High School, a traditional folk school that strips away the distractions of modern life in favor of simplicity, self-discovery, and survival skills. The film weaves together their lives as they navigate the challenges and rewards of Arctic life, from caring for a pack of loyal Siberian huskies — believed to unlock a person’s true self. Co-directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady believe in the idea that these animals can help a human become more human.
