PREMISE
In Norse mythology, the three “Norns” are powerful deities who weave the threads of fate and shape humans’ futures. Today, Pasvik Folk High School in northern Norway aims to produce a similar life-changing effect on its students. FOLKTALES tells the timely story of teenagers who choose to spend an unconventional “gap year” learning to dog sled and survive the Arctic wilderness, in hopes of finding connection and meaning in the modern world. Guided by patient teachers and a yard full of heroic Siberian huskies, they discover their own potential. And develop deep relationships with the land, animals and humans around them.
Through intimate verité storytelling and exhilarating cinematography, Ewing and Grady deliver a stunning cinematic portrait of the Nordic landscape, exploring young adults on the brink of adulthood as they find themselves at the edge of the world.
