Marte Hallem

Documentarian Marte Hallem and her daughter uncover their foremothers' struggle for existence on their own rich journey through the Nordic region. Magic, natural rituals and forest Finnish shamanism - this is also Norway.

Director Marte Hallem takes people back to her youth in Verdal in the 1990s, and tries to understand why so many from her circle died due to overdoses, suicides and traffic accidents.
