Can you recreate moments of the past or do you start anew?
Director and writer Bart Schrijver’s THE NORTH tells the story of the long and grueling hike of Chris (Bart Harder) and Lluis (Carles Pulido), two childhood friends who connect after a decade to recreate their 600 kilometers journey through the Scotland’s Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail
With the beautiful backdrop of the West Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail, Chris is focused on his wife, starting a family, and his job, while Lluis is trying to find his purpose.
THE NORTH reminds you of the beauty and the benefit of being in nature and the importance of friendship and family. It is a very good film.
Cinematographer Twan Peeters captures the true essence of their journey. It gives you a place on the trail, making you feel you are hiking along with them.
Bart Schrijver writing creates meaningful and heartfelt conversations between Chris and Lluis as well as others, as they connect after 10 years and try to relearn about each other.
Editor Gijs Walstra brings the film together so Chris and Lluis story flows effortless from scene to scene.
THE NORTH, filmed in the real place of Scotland’s Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail is an idle location for a film of two old friends on a more than 300 miles hiking journey. The hills, the valley, waterfalls, lakes, and ocean are beautiful backdrop and provide a sense of peace.
When Chris and Lluis reconnected after a decade’s absence by going on the hike of a lifetime, while finding out who they are today and to each other. Are people able to recreate moments of the past or is it necessary for people to start anew?
