Koppmoll

"Koppmoll" is a film that negotiates the border between documenting and storytelling. Filmed in the far north of Norway, we follow the writer Damon Falke as he visits a family whose lives have been touched by change and memories of World War II. While considering his own need for place, Falke is introduced to places and stories that speak of home, family, loss, and a nearly forgotten war. "Koppmoll" is about the act of turning over one stone and finding a world where lives and landscapes are inseparable, where history is present.
