While filming a documentary about an alleged bear poacher, a group of young film students perilously encounters a hairy monster that their guide Hans identifies as a troll. In order to throw light on the grievances surrounding his profession as troll hunter, he allows the filmmakers to accompany him on his hunt ... Shot “on location” in the woods of Vestlandet in western Norway, the film features elaborate special effects as it “documents” the irritating social behaviour of Norway's original inhabitants. The film combines Nordic mythology and applied troll studies in the form of a “mockumentary” reminiscent of “The Blair Witch Project”, the tradition of which it does immense justice to. Literally “colossal fun”, in which even Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg himself took part. A US remake is in production.
