It is unlikely that any synopsis of this portrait of a small-town
men's choir will convey just how affecting and inspirational
this documentary is. The most successful film ever at the
Norwegian box office, it follows the engaging group of men
(ranging in age from late twenties to mid-nineties!) around
their home town of Finnmark and on to their busy round of
concerts. Theirs is the harshest of landscapes in which
to survive, but they do so with such an indomitable pride
that you'll be left in awe of their respect for nature and
companionship, and in the power of the human voice.
