On a small farm in a Norwegian forest, the Paynes live a purposefully isolated life, aiming to be wild and free. Maria and Nik, together with their four children Ulv, Falk, Freja, and Ronja, embrace self-sufficiency, practicing homeschooling and striving for a closely knit family dynamic in harmony with nature. To sustain this type of lifestyle Maria works as a photographer, and her true passion lies in capturing intimate moments of her family’s life. However, when Maria is diagnosed with cervical cancer, which leads to her passing after a brief illness, it upends the family’s idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society.

The screening is also suitable for parents with babies and small children. A parent can go to the cinema with a stroller. No commercials or spots are played before the screening. The projection has a reduced volume and a slight light remains in the cinema hall during the projection. In the screening room, movement and commentary on the film are respected. The capacity of the screening room is not fully filled. The projection may be suitable for people with autism spectrum disorders and otherwise neurodivergent people. Older children can be supervised by the festival staff outside the cinema hall. Autumn creative activities will be prepared in the next room.
