Petter Nyquist

Film maker Petter Nyquist voluntarily leave his family to live like a homeless for six months amongst the homeless in the winter cold city streets of Oslo.

In the new series, Petter Nyquist returns to the social housing in Torshov, the place that made a deep impression on both him and the viewers in "Petter - der ingen vil bo". When he lived there, he discovered that many of the residents suffered from a fundamental loneliness and a daily life without purpose and meaning. Now Petter wants to do something about this. That is why he now has a new mission: to create a command center for good deeds: a community-driven initiative where residents can both receive help and contribute themselves, and in this way experience mastery, dignity and belonging.

Petter Nyquist lives as an inmate in Halden Prison for 30 days.
