In his studio at Charlottenborg Kunsthal, the young painter Christopher FenDweller – a figure loosely based on the Fenrir wolf of Norse mythology and the Danish Golden Age painter C.W. Eckersberg! – works on mastering the motifs of nature. It’s not going so well. Therefore, he embarks on an educational journey to the island of Møn, where a transformation begins. Ancient folk tales and figures borrowed freely from Norse mythology meet hypermodern high-tech in a lavishly baroque adventure. Like a spiritual relative of Matthew Barney, he lets its hybrid characters explore the historical past and possible futures at the same time.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
