Popis (anglicky):

Folktales is a life-affirming documentary directed by Oscar-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. It follows teenagers at Norway's Pasvik Folk High School during an unconventional gap year in the Arctic wilderness, where they learn survival skills like dog sledding, fire-making, and outdoor endurance with Alaskan huskies. The film centers on three students—Hege, grieving her father's death and seeking purpose; Romain, overcoming social anxiety and dropout fears; and Bjorn (or Bjørn Tore), striving to connect and shed feelings of awkwardness. Through intimate verité style and stunning cinematography, it captures their emotional growth, forging bonds with nature, animals, and each other amid harsh cold and personal struggles. Away from phones and modern distractions, they discover resilience and hope, echoing Norse myths of fate-weaving Norns. Main actors featured are Hege, Romain, and Bjorn.
