Private Project

FRAM

Fram, a friendly little polar bear, and his mother, Nala, live alone in an isolated area at the North Pole. Nala introduces her cub to the outside world with all its beauty and magic. The seemingly uneventful frozen world comes to life with the arrival of the polar day.

The two explore it together. Fram learns how to catch fish, discovers the Northern Lights, has fun with his own shadow, travels on ice floes alongside Nala, and visits a cave where we find out it’s the special place where Nala met his father. However, after an unexpected event caused by global warming, Fram is separated from his mother. Her last advice, before their separation, is for Fram to be brave and wait for her on a piece of ice near the shore. The piece of ice drifts away from the shore, and Fram floats aimlessly, far from the shore and his mother.
