With Olin's 85-year-old father as a guide, we experience Norway's most scenic valley, Oldedalen in Nordfjord. This is where he grew up and where 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.
