Documentary (52 min.) / WDR, 2019

The film takes the viewer to the magical world of polar night in northern Scandinavia. In winter, the sun disappears for a long time north of the Arctic Circle, and darkness and cold dominate the landscape. But nature copes with the conditions astonishingly well. The plants and animals that survive here do so with a wide range of abilities that allow them to adapt to the extreme conditions. And when the northern lights dance across the dark skies, the polar night unfolds its unique enchantment.
