Songs of Earth

From Margreth Olin comes a close and spectacular embrace of our first love: Nature. With Olin's 85-year-old father as guide, we experience Norway's most adventurous valley, Oldedalen. He grew up here, and here generations before him have lived in balance with nature. Majestic images of wild mountains, calving glaciers and bustling wildlife go side by side with the parents' stories about the generations who trod the trails, the relationship we have with nature and what is valuable in life. The music is composed of unique sound recordings – nature's own melodies, translated and performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra. (The Norwegian International Film Festival)
