Å seile sin egen sjø

In Å seile sin egen sjø we meet several people along the coast of Norway. There is 27-year-old Regine. She fishes inshore from Lofoten to the North Cape in a small stack with her boyfriend. ÿystein lives on a group of uninhabited islands off the Nordland coast. He has wild sheep and collects down from birds, he builds a small restaurant from driftwood where he will serve wild sheep, and he hopes to transform a bog into a heated pool at the Arctic Circle for prospective guests. Nils Olav is one of the last remaining builders of Oselvers – a rowboat that has been built since the Viking age. But his real dream is to get rich in the mackerel fishing with his shaggy friend Sara as a deck dog. Magnus has run an oyster farm for 70 years, and he continues to do so in spite of both Magnus and the oyster farm being on the wane. One thing they all have in common is that they have many possible – and impossible – legs to stand on. This is a warm film about people, about dreams – and about traditions that are disappearing.
