A documentary about two camels living in the Arctic circle should prick the ears of anyone interested in unusual stories.
But this story directed by Karl Emil Rikardsen went down places I was not expecting.
It starts off in a pleasing way. We get introduced to the people, the beautiful Norwegian landscape and the surreal imagery of seeing two camels so far north that they are in the Arctic circle.
But once we get to see the characters intentions for these camels, it explores more subjects that have been a part of human life for thousands of years. Don't worry, there's nothing brutal or tragic despite the previous sentence possibly coming across that way. But there is certainly one scene that could unsettle people depending on their beliefs.
I was seeing a lot of similarities to The Eagle Huntress. The importance of tradition, imagery consisting of vast landscapes and that relationship between man and beast.
I thought this was very pleasant viewing. The people and animals are likable, the imagery is beautiful, seeing different cultures on how they life was really interesting to see and the narrative is solid.
