Excellent, a Must See

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie is about the young boy Harald. He lives in a village and the mad king send warriors to confiscate the ships along the coast. Harald's village don't want to part with its ship and Harald's father takes the kings messenger prisoner. Harald's father is chief of the village and he sails to the rebellion in the north to get help. Unfortunately the messenger escapes and brings a group of warriors to punish the village. Harald's mother convinces the warriors that the old drunkard of a shipbuilder can make a new ship.This movie is taking place in a viking-like time. It is not historical correct and does not try to be. It is a serious, dark movie about that happens to people in a country in civil war.
