'Oslos Ville Hjerte'

'Oslo's Wild Heart' takes us on a spectacular and surprising journey into a hidden wilderness that exists in the city's beating heart. In this world of tower blocks and urban wilderness, humans rub shoulders with a fantastic biodiversity that the majority of the capitals inhabitants do not know exists. Oslo’s Wild Heart is a spectacular and beautiful portrait of the wild animals of Norway's capital city, a poetic cinematic experience questioning our idea of wilderness
