A New Kind of Wilderness (12A)

On a small farm in a Norwegian forest, a family live a purposefully isolated life, aiming to be wild and free.

Maria and Nik, along with their four children Ulv, Falk, Freja and Ronja, are self-sufficient. They practice home-schooling and strive for a closely-knit family dynamic in harmony with nature. However, when tragedy strikes the family, it upends their idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society.

“Beautiful, heart-wrenching and ultimately hopeful" – Patrick Barkham, The Guardian
