Described as a road movie comedy, the film follows a former athlete returning by snow scooter to reality, his ex-girlfriend and his son, five years after a mental breakdown. On a snow scooter, with 5 litres of moonshine as provisions, Jomar embarks on a strange and dramatic journey towards the far north, where his ex-girlfriend lives with his child that he just learned about. This turns into a weird expedition, during which he gets to meet other tender and confused souls, who all contribute to pushing Jomar further ahead on his reluctant journey towards reality.“I got the idea for “North” when I was visiting my hometown Trondheim in the spring of 2005. At that time I went through a depression and also experienced several anxiety attacks. One day I went cross-country skiing and passed the old slope where I used to ski when I was young. I remembered the guys who used to work there. They were angry, often smelled of booze and they all seemed to have some kind of mental problems“, – says director Rune Denstad Langlo
