After the death of his father, who lived in Norway and was a stranger to him, Michael (Georg Friedrich) sets off from Berlin to the far north with his 14-year-old son Luis, to whom he is a stranger. After the funeral, Luis reluctantly agrees to spend a few more days driving and hiking through the lonely countryside together. However, the confinement in the car and tent does not create any closeness, the atmosphere is tense, the boy reacts withdrawn and angry to the father's attempts at contact, who wants to catch up on what he has missed and make up for his years of absence. Long car journeys - one of them lasting several minutes in increasingly dense fog -, a spherical drone score and several omissions characterize this father-son road movie of the minimalist kind. A small conciliatory moment does not a happy ending make.
