In the village the residents aim to live life at a slower pace and in harmony with nature. Their community is founded on empathy, respect, and mutual interdependence.
Ola, who has a mild learning disability, spends his days working in the workshop, pulling carrots from the ground and chatting for hours with his best friend, Lasse. He generally enjoys his life and is a witty and sincere individual who talks openly and honestly about his condition.

Beloved by Norwegian audiences, Ragnhild Nøst Bergem’s life-affirming documentary is an honest and heartwarming portrait of a thoughtful and gracious man.
