The narrator is Erlend, who looks back on when he was nine year old Erlend, visiting his beloved father. Back when Norway was a great speed skating nation, with the four best in the world. A father which isn't among the best, and have had his struggles, but still tries to learn his son the importance of speed skating on ice. During the next days the film follows, their fragile relationship will be challenged.
The film relies very on nostalgia, which work fine with me, remembering the period. The period setting of the late 70'ies is good, as well as the acting. The film touches strings that is profound and heartfelt.
Director Stian Forgaard has later made three more short films with kids in the main role.
