Recommended from 16 years Three very different friends Alex, Greger and Henrik knows that man is made to hunt. After all, it was the man who invented hunting. Spending several days in a lonely forest cabin loosens their confidence. If the first days of hunting are accompanied by luck, then the following days and nights are filled with danger and competition. As the silence draws in, suddenly all the forest animals disappear. The hunt begins, in which the hunters become the ones they themselves have chased... Northern European cinema connoisseurs are eager to draw parallels with Vintenberg's tragicomedy "Vēl pa mēriņam" (2020), but this time all similarities will be killed by a different setting of "social experiment" and genre. The thriller takes place in the middle of the forest with the following setting - man is a hunter by nature (and destiny). If so, all that remains is to…hunt. Swedish director Jillenstjerna dares to boldly address the theme of the hunter and the prey in this mise-en-scène expressive, tense work, rolling up the sleeves of satire. Anthropological horror and a food chain interspersed with candlelit drinks, 'when they meet' conversations and macho battles with stone age hunting gear.
