Storia
Knut Erik Jensen's personal visual poem, an Elegy for a culture that no longer exists. Stella Polaris is a personal document in fiction form of a bygone era and culture in the northernmost part of Norway. At the same time described the current Finnmark in the scene from our own time. The story is narrated by a woman's eyes, both as children in the busy fishing village and as an adult in the present. She returns to the birthplace and remember how life was before the fishing village was closed. Love story between her and her childhood friend is central to the action. 'Stella Polaris' is in the form of associative told with an unconventional dramaturgy.
Riassunto
"Stella Polaris" weaves a poignant tale of nostalgia and change through the evocative eyes of its protagonist, a woman journeying between past and present in Norway's northernmost reaches. As she revisits her birthplace, Finnmark, now a ghost town after the fishing village's closure, she recalls life's vibrancy before its decline. An associative narrative style, unconventional yet captivating, transports us through eras defined by bustling industry, war, rebuilding, and ultimately, depopulation. Central to this cinematic elegy is an intimate love story between our heroine and her lifelong friend, whose bond echoes the fate of their community, forever intertwined with its history.
