North

North follows Jomar, a ski athlete who has withdrawn from society following a nervous breakdown. Isolated in a ski park, he embarks on a journey to discover if he is the father of a child in the north. Accompanied only by 5 liters of alcohol, Jomar navigates through breathtaking arctic landscapes while encountering various characters who each contribute to his reluctant path to self-discovery.

This film blends elements of drama and comedy, presenting a poignant exploration of relationships, particularly between grandparents and grandchildren.
