The story

What Is North About?

The premise of North without spoilers.

After a nervous breakdown, ski athlete Jomar isolates himself as a ski‑park guard. Learning he may be the father of a child far north, he embarks on a snowmobile trek across Norway’s arctic wilderness, surviving on five liters of alcohol. Along the frozen landscape he meets tender, confused travelers who coax him toward a brighter outlook.
