I found this film to disappoint me in several ways.
I am Norwegian, living abroad and the only thing I miss in my life is to have more nature experiences. I would have expected this film to move me, and make me want to dream about moving to a beautiful place. Instead it made me realize how important it is to be an active part of the civil society and give your best to others.
The overly personal and isolated story of this couple, seems navel-gazing and excluding, a bad trait of Norwegians in general, although the portrait of the main character in the film is sympathetic.
The pictures are beautiful, but the story is simple and lacks courage, edge and generosity.
Maybe my disappointment of the film has to do with me being gen-y public, whilst the film made by an gen-x instructor and writer romanticizing her silent generation parents, who are fine with being indulging in their secluded and privileged beautiful surroundings that they don't need to share or fight for.
