When the film team entered the scene, the rorbu had stood untouched since 1963. The owner had left the building with dry goods still in the kitchen cupboard, remnants of bread dough in the bowl and reading glasses still on the floor. The straw mattress in the upper bunk below the roof showed how little time has passed since the standards of living in Norway were very different. The rorbu's exterior and interior, as well as the rich artefacts within, serve as witnesses about lives lived in and around the building. The traces of the four fishermen infuse the film with life. The film received first place for best directing at the Moscow International Festival of Visual Anthropology in 2012, has been shown at a series of film festivals. It can be ordered from the Norwegian Film Institute. See less
