Human Nature (2022)

Director: Bart Schrijver
Stars: Jamie Bouwmeester, Ellen Helinder, Huub Smit

Sophie (30) decides to hike 500 kilometers through the Arctic region of Norway. She wants to get away from the pressure everyday life. But life at home doesn't seem to understand her desire to go be by herself.

The fact that the main character actually hikes the full distance during the making of this film adds to the overall feel while watching the movie. The storyline seems simple enough: hiking from the North Cape to Finland. However, the personal story of the main character travels the same distance. This, combined with the stunning landscapes of Norway, the ever changing weather and the challenges along the way make this movie one of my personal favorites. The fact that I'm I hiker myself definitely adds to this.

Anyway, go watch this movie and see how each of us perceive reality differently, which may be even more apparent when walking in the wilderness.
