Viking Wolf

In the mist‑shrouded fjords of contemporary Norway, a quiet town clings to the rhythm of seasons and old superstitions. Beneath its sleepy surface, the ancient legend of the werewolf lingers like a whispered warning, a myth that has been reshaped by the rugged landscape and the cold, reflective waters that border the forest. The film embraces this northern folklore with a mood that is both atmospheric and unsettling, letting the stark beauty of the setting amplify a sense of dread that feels as natural as the wind through the pines.

At the heart of the story is Thale Berg, a seventeen‑year‑old who has just arrived in the town with her family, still raw from the loss of her father. She navigates a strained relationship with her mother Liv, a former Oslo police officer now tasked with keeping order in this close‑knit community, and with her stepfather Arthur, whose presence adds another layer of tension to an already fragile household. Thale’s bond with her young deaf sister Jenny offers a rare tenderness, grounding her in a world that suddenly seems more precarious than she imagined.

As Thale settles into her new life, she begins to experience strange visions and cravings that hint at something far beyond ordinary adolescence. The film lets these unsettling sensations echo through the cold nights and shadowed woods, suggesting that the old Norse myth may be stirring awake. With a tone that walks the line between haunting mystery and psychological tension, the story invites the audience to wonder what lies hidden in the darkness—not just in the forest, but within Thale herself.
