Project Detail

Seven

Synopsis

Yohana, a teenage girl from a remote community in the Norwegian Arctic must decide the fate of the oil worker who has killed her father. In just seven seconds, she must make a life and death decision that will not only mark her forever, but also determine the very future of her people.

SEVEN unfolds in a stunning hinterland of rearing cliffs and vast seascapes, 50 miles within the Arctic Circle. Yet this is contested territory: outsiders are threatening a centuries old way of life as they seek to exploit the area’s natural resources.

Funded by the British Film Institute, SEVEN occupies the liminal space where wilderness and culture, tradition and modernity collide. As the drama unfolds, nature looks on, silent, vast and implacable.
