A wonderful norwegian movie.

This film is unfortunately one of few good films made in Norway in the 80's. The whole atmosphere in this movie is fantastic. It shows Norway in the earlie 1900, in the Northern part of Norway, where a unknown female is found in the shores. She has no memory, and remember a few things as time goes by. Bork played by Helge Jordal, is a rebellion in the old Norwegian society that trys to bring the unknown girl home... And it all leads to a trip in a sailboat up the Norwegian coastline. This film had it all. Like gripping moments, excitement and wonderful Norwegian Nature. The only thing i can say about it is two thumbs up.

"great north- Norwegian language and humor"

About the movie: This movie is about a girl who is found in a coma down by the sea. The year is somewhere between 1850-1900. The girl seem to have a problem to speak, so no one knows her name, or where she's from, so people just name her "Baaremor", the girl from the sea. One day playing at the beach she get to know "Baarr i bekkmortna", this crazy man whose talking 'bout going to foreign destinations with his boat. The main problem here is that no one likes this guy, so when he sets sail to destination unknown with the girl hidden (by herself) in his boat, he's suddenly chased both by the police and the angry people who claims he have stolen from them! Summary: This is a great Norwegian movie filmed in the north of Norway with this beautiful landscape and great north- Norwegian language and humor. When i saw it as a little kid i thought it was a little scary, but when we recently watched it at a friend's house, we found this movie the greatest laugh. Helge Jordal is awesome as this nice, crazy and funny outlaw, "Baarr i bekkmortna"!

Charming and entertaining story, exquisitely filmed.

An unpretentious story of a girl's search for her past, with a strong and interesting cast, filmed in some of the most scenic parts of the world. Quiet humour and focus on little details makes a fairly simple story into an exquisite film. I guess it helps to speak Norwegian, because subtleties in the dialogue is lost in the subtitles. Helge Jordal is just marvellous as Bork.
