Spoilers ahead
In the heart of the Norwegian wilderness, a determined group of filmmakers from Volda University College, composed of Thomas (Glenn Erland Tosterud), Johanna (Johanna Mørck), and their camera-savvy friend Kalle (Tomas Alf Larsen), sets out to create a gripping documentary focused on Hans (Otto Jespersen), a suspected bear poacher. Their adventure kicks off at the site of a recently slain bear, where they interview local hunters puzzled by the unusual tracks left behind. The students also seek out Finn Haugen (Hans Morten Hansen), the head of the Norwegian Wildlife Board, but are met with disbelief when they propose that these tracks might have been manufactured.
