Armed only with a bow and an ensemble of animal skins, Martin sets off into the forest in a misguided attempt to overcome his midlife crisis. A chance meeting with a fugitive named Musa leads to a twisted trip through the fjords with police, drug runners, and Martin’s family not far behind. As an unlikely friendship develops and wildly original set-pieces unfold, Martin’s quest for manhood leads to deep and hilariously uncomfortable realizations about the presumed masculine ideal. (Samuel Goldwyn Films US)

A funny and highly stylized comedy about a guy who wants to be away from his family, his job and his problems. The film indirectly confronts societal issues where men are raised to be tough, yet secretly they don't even know how to fight their inner problems so they simply try to escape them. The film doesn't try to impose anything on anyone and doesn't lecture anyone. The film is very easy to watch, it just entertains. Each character has a goal, which is actually quite different, and so everyone will find what interests them in the film. The icing on the cake are the absolutely spectacular shots of the Norwegian fjords and landscape.
