Just before the polar night begins, lights flood the fjord. Stars sink into the stale, brackish water – the water we can no longer call sea. In it, the day fades. In it, lives fade. One by one. 

At the high edge of the fjord, a woman is walking. Caught between the endlessness of the open world and the smothering tension of her home. When she looks at the sea, for a moment it seems that the wind can blow free. That somewhere, a life exists that is different from her own – perhaps better, more alive, more real. 

But the house rising up far away from such a world oppresses and suffocates. Those who stayed in it. People who live together but are strangers to each other. A house is a cage of memories, longing, missed opportunities. And yet we stay. Because we’re afraid that it will be no better elsewhere. Because we’re afraid that the freedom we envision might not exist at all. 

We’re afraid that we might lose the last fragment of our dreams. That it will vanish in the endless sea. 

And yet – will we ever be free?
