Tale of the Sleeping Giants

Directors: Marko Röhr

The fells of Lapland are sleeping giants. That's what ancient myths tell us. It is said they are the oldest mountains on the planet, roaming our world for hundreds of millions of years.

Up in the North, they seem to have frozen into a bowing posture. One has to wonder if they know how the world was born? Do they still remember?

Unravelling their secret, many believe, will also show you the future of our world.

Come with us on a journey to uncover their tale!
