Martin’s version of a mid-life crisis looks a little different than most. He has fled his family to live high up in the Norwegian mountains, hunting and gathering like his ancestors did thousands of years ago before supermarkets and smartphones ruined everything. But Martin’s project is turned upside down when he meets Musa, a drug runner lost in the woods, injured and bleeding after a car accident. The odd couple must join forces as they are chased through the wilderness by the local chief of police, Musa’s rivals and Martin’s unknowing wife.

Thomas Daneskov presents an original black comedy with countless clever twists, colorful characters and absurd humor.

Filmography: The Elite (2015).
