Auf der Suche nach Stille brechen vier junge Menschen zu einer einwöchigen Kanutour durch die schwedische Wildnis auf — ohne Handys, ohne Essen, vollständig abgeschnitten von der Aussenwelt.

Was als Sehnsucht nach Freiheit und Einfachheit beginnt, entwickelt sich langsam zu einer intimen psychologischen Reise. Je mehr Hunger, Erschöpfung und Isolation zunehmen, desto mehr legt die Expedition die inneren Konflikte einer Generation bloss — gefangen zwischen digitaler Reizüberflutung, Leistungsdruck und dem Verlangen nach einer bedeutsameren Existenz.

Jenseits der Konventionen des Survival-Genres wird STRØM zu einem eindringlichen Porträt einer ganzen Generation.

Featured Projects
Expedition ATLAS (2025)
Three adventurers from Zurich venture into Morocco's Atlas Mountains to climb the 4,167-meter-high Toubkal. Everyone must overcome their own physical and mental limits. Without any high-altitude experience, they face freezing cold, scorching heat, thin air, and unforgiving terrain.
STRØM - Nordwärts zur Freiheit (2026)

A week-long analog canoe expedition through the Swedish wilderness - no phones, no power, no boundaries. Four adventurers navigate rivers and lakes, relying solely on skill, teamwork, and nature. Set for release in winter 2026, bringing this extraordinary journey to audiences.

I WOULD PREFER NOT TO (2027)

A young person travels through India without making a single decision of their own while every choice is delegated to strangers — inspired by Herman Melville’s Bartleby, the film explores refusal as a quiet, radical response to a world that demands constant action.

Currently in postproduction.
