The Story:
Set in the summer of 1941, the film follows the perilous missions of civilian sailors who braved the freezing waters of the Arctic Ocean. Their goal was to deliver vital military supplies—including weapons and equipment—from Iceland to the Soviet Union (Murmansk and Arkhangelsk) to aid the fight against the Nazi invasion.
The plot focuses on the infamous Convoy PQ-17, where civilian ships suddenly find themselves without military protection after the British naval escort receives orders to withdraw. The untrained sailors are forced to face Nazi aircraft and U-boats (submarines) alone amidst harsh weather conditions and snowstorms, in an epic journey of survival driven by courage and leadership.

Technical & Artistic Details:
Historical Authenticity: The film was shot using a real historic coal ship built in 1911 called the D/S Hestmanden, which is the only surviving ship to have served in both World War I and World War II.
Perspective: Unlike many Hollywood blockbusters, this film focuses heavily on the human and psychological toll on civilian sailors rather than just pure action. It has been compared to the movie Greyhound but with a realistic Norwegian touch.
Availability: As of 2025, the film is available on digital streaming platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV.
