A group of street people plays in a cinematographic version of the 5th act of Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt. The movie contains both fiction and documentary elements.

Direction
Blurring documentary and fever-dream fiction seamlessly.
Director
Hallvard Bræin
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bræin filmed during Oslo's 2007 'Operation Oscar' sweeps, capturing real police harassment of the cast during production. The state was literally trying to erase the people it was depicting.
The Dovre scene uses actual condemned buildings scheduled for demolition — the troll kingdom literally disappears after filming, mirroring Peer Gynt's 'self' dissolving.
