- Overview
Armed only with a bow and an ensemble of animal skins, Martin sets off into the forest in a misguided attempt to overcome his midlife crisis. A chance meeting with a fugitive named Musa leads to a twisted trip through the fjords with police, drug runners, and Martin's family not far behind. As an unlikely friendship develops and wildly original set-pieces unfold, Martin's quest for manhood leads to deep and hilariously uncomfortable realizations about the presumed masculine ideal.

"Martin" (Rasmus Bjerg) does a fine impersonation of a Viking chasing down a goat with a bow and arrow... Thing is, he's pretty useless and we quickly discover he's a fairly fair-weather hunter with a penchant for crisps and chocolate. Whilst he is foraging, a group of men driving along the road have an unfortunate encounter with a moose and believing his friends are dead, the injured "Musa" (Zaki Youssef) abandons the wreck and sets off for help. It's "Martin" who finds him and helps him with some home made first aid before they set off together to find his tent. Separately, we are aware that the police are after after the moose-manglers and when they apprehend "Musa", "Martin" intervenes making him just as wanted as his new friend and setting the scene for some daft escapades amongst the wilderness. What only makes matters worse is that his friends are still very much alive, and they too are on his trail - all for the contents of a sports bag! At times this is actually quite funny and Bjerg has a bit of comedy timing to him, but sadly the story rather runs out of steam and becomes a little too farcical as thugs, police and the pair reach a disappointing denouement. There is some glorious scenery to behold and the writing does delivery some fun from the characters' eccentricities - especially the familiar face of Rune Temte who's "Henrik" leads a village of real live Vikings cooking freshly caught meat over the fire (whilst their car is parked nearby). It tries a bit too hard, but is a bit different and worth a watch.
