WHERE MAN RETURNS
ABOUT
WHERE MAN RETURNS is a contemplative portrayal of man‘s relationship with nature. 75-yearsold Steinar has chosen a life close to nature. Alone with his dog, in an isolated icy universe on the tip of Europe, he finds his freedom, but living with nature seems at times both lonely and overwhelming. A beautiful cinematic experience of man and nature.
