A New Kind of Wilderness

On a picturesque farm in the Norwegian forest, the Payne family: British father Nik, Norwegian mother Maria and their four children, have thrived for years in isolation from the modern world, determined to maintain their sustainable-living independence in harmony with nature. But when tragedy strikes, the family faces a devastating loss, along with the daunting prospect of integrating themselves into contemporary society. Winner of Sundance's World Cinema Grand Jury Prize for Documentary, the film is an intimate, poignant chronicle of a family coming to terms with a new reality.
