På hau i havet

The North Cape is one of the worlds best known and most legendary destinations. It is the northernmost point on the European continent. Many consider it the end of the world. What few people know is that a very distinctive and living cabaret tradition has evolved over the last 70 years in the shadow of the North Cape, a surplus-energy phenomenon that has defied hunger and poverty, war and setbacks, storm and frost. The liberated and enthusiastic laughter the cabaret generates has contributed to the locals enduring. The surplus-energy phenomenon has become a survival phenomenon. (Norsk Filminstitutt)
