A year of making, experiencing and sharing ideas of home
On a small farm in a Norwegian forest, the Payne family live a purposefully isolated life, aiming to be wild and free. However, when tragedy strikes, it upends their idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society.
This preview screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with the film's protagonist Nik Payne.
