Chasing Trolltunga
Osmo ja Peltsi – Peikkovuoren valloittajatDetails
Nature loving father Mikko gives his 15-year-old son Osmo an unusual confirmation gift: a cycling journey from Helsinki across Sweden and Norway to the spectacular Trolltunga. Peltsi hopes the adventure will help Osmo, who has Down syndrome, grow more independent as he dreams of moving away from home. But as the miles pass, he discovers that growing up cannot be rushed, and that he may have just as much to learn as his son. Filled with humour, heart and breathtaking Nordic scenery, Chasing Trolltunga is a moving father-and-son road movie about growing up, letting go and finding your own way.
