The film is set in the Norwegian high mountains in the 1820s, where mysterious natural phenomena play an important part in the plot. Young Knut Formo has gone to the mountains to hunt the great white reindeer. He spends five days hunting the buck, but never manages to catch it. We experience the tension as the rifle is aimed at the buck and his fingers curl around the trigger, and we experience the disappointment when the buck runs away after the shot. Knut gradually becomes exhausted. He begins to mix dreams and reality as his strength ebbs away. The fantasy world becomes a natural part of life for a person closely connected to a powerful nature. Based on an original screenplay by Erik Løchen.
