22 - Fram

Why do we do incredibly difficult things that have no practical application? Is there a parallel between geographic and artistic exploration? Two friends journey to the end of the earth to dance in the polar wilderness of Svalbard. En route, they explore the history of our ideas of the Arctic, along with the grand questions of life, art and our place in the world. Fram is an engaging, unprecedented journey to a place where few have been – and even fewer have danced.
