Folktales

On the precipice of adulthood, three teenagers make the daring decision to leave the comforts of home to enroll in a traditional “folk high school” in northern Norway. Dropped in the arctic wilderness for one year, Hege, Romain, and Bjørn Tore must rely on themselves and a pack of loyal sled dogs as they take the daunting step from childhood to adulthood. Freed of technology, social media, and the noise of modern life, this brave trio learns to face themselves for the first time - and experience an unexpected, often wondrous transformation. Through intimate verité storytelling and exhilarating cinematography, Academy Award®-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady examine humans on the cusp of adulthood, finding themselves at the edge of the world.
