Andrée flies on a mental to the Northpole in a hot air balloon.
A young man who lost himself in unlucky love creates a new space for himself in a fictional world.
He embarks on a journey to the north pole in a hot air balloon and sends back an odd report of facts, poems and pictures.
The journey to the frozen north is one between fiction, reality and dream, and everything is not what it looks like.
The film is inspired by the Swedish pioneer polar aviator S.A Anrée and his crew who disappeared near the North pole after a failed attempt to cross it in a hydrogen balloon in the summer of 1897. The expedition was found dead more than 30 years after their disappearance. Through the study of Mr Andrée’s diary and the photographic material found It was clear that the balloon only flew for a couple of days before it crashed and a journey by foot started that went on for three months on the ice before they died for unknown reasons.
Directed by Johan von Reybekiel.
