A film about boys from Oslo making the Norwegian woods even «darker»
Zakaria (16) og Arjun (17), two boys with a minority background, miss excitement and suspense in their daily life and decide to explore the Norwegian nature. Through the Wild X project they get the chance to become hunters, but that is not as easy as they first believed. A feelgood film about two urban boys’ meeting with the part of Norway they find outside of the big city.
