On the 5th of March 1986, 31 soldiers and officers marched
into Vassdalen in Northern Norway. Only 15 came out alive.
16 young soldiers died when the 2nd platoon of the Engineer
Company was caught in an avalanche. In the years that followed,
the survivors were haunted by this grueling experience.
25 years later, they do the same march over again. The
conundrum they all try to solve is this: Is it possible to get
rid of the ghosts from the past once and for all?

teenage activists. He is an acknowledged spokesperson
for the environmental cause, and leads the biggest environmental
NGO in the region. The film depicts the director’s
meeting with Vitaliy, as well as with a new Russia where the

enthusiastic people from having their say.

river portrays the Yukon River as evolving against the
trends of our times, from the turn of the last century when
the population along the banks peaked, to the present day
when forests and wildlife have returned and the only travelers
one sees are a few adventure seekers – it is a river that
flows from the future into the past.
