by eivind tolas<br />
A hipster goes yodel. We follow the philosophy student<br />
and yodeler Polkabjørn on his way to the ultimate<br />
yodel experiences and to success. He and his musical<br />
companion Kleine Heine take their yodel act from<br />
the narrow fjords of Norway to huge stadium concerts,<br />
the world’s leading throat expert, the Faroe Islands,<br />
Texas and Germany. We meet their enthusiastic manager,<br />
a male stripper and one of the biggest yodel fans on<br />
earth. Why are they doing this ? Do they really like it ?<br />
And, will Polkabjørn ever meet the Jodlerkönig, his<br />
big yodel hero ?<br />

If you could pick only one photograph of yourself for<br />
the next generations to remember you, which one would<br />
you choose ? The film brings together stories from<br />
people facing their gravestone picture while still being<br />
alive and focuses on the image of the self as a threshold of<br />
the visible world they leave behind. As this is an eter-<br />
nal memory for the descendants, people seem to be very<br />
keen on finding ‘the right’ portrait. How would you<br />
recognize your 82-year-old grandparents if their grave-<br />
stone portrait shows them as 16-year-old adolescents ?<br />
The graveyard picture is also part of the collective<br />
memory of the society we live in. That’s why Sabina, a<br />
72-year-old widow, wants to replace her gravestone<br />
picture because she is ‘too red’ and she will be misjudged<br />
as an alcoholic. Making a gravestone picture is not an<br />
easy task nowadays, as the photo ceramic companies offer<br />
a variety of shapes and backgrounds, from colourful<br />
curtains to natural landscapes or ‘heaven-like’ sceneries.<br />
While the audience discovers the graveyard as a public<br />
photo album and a living social document, the characters<br />
fall into a psychological process of finding the perfect<br />
image to-be-remembered.<br />
