Death in the Mountains

Illicit use of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, and their analogs harms health. Their illegal distribution is prohibited and entails liability under the law.

Four girlfriends decide to go to the mountains of Norway to temporarily forget their anxieties and regain strength. But away from people, they begin to feel that someone is nearby and realize they’re being watched, and the harsh nature hides secrets that it’s better not to touch. Will they manage to get out of this dark hike?

Liz desperately needs a change: her marriage is falling apart, and the job that once brought joy no longer inspires her. She gathers three of her closest girlfriends and suggests a four-day route through the Norwegian mountains. Among green valleys, untouched forests, and crystal-clear lakes, Liz hopes to exhale and start over. But the farther they go from civilization, the clearer it becomes: they aren’t alone. In this wilderness, danger lies not only in nature—strange secrets are hidden here, and any carelessness may turn into the fact that not everyone will return home.
