What happens when you want to go back to nature, only to find that nature is not at all welcoming? If you’re the midlife-crisis-beset Martin , the hangdog protagonist of “,” you might figure that after 10 days of trying to rough it in the wild as a landlocked Viking, it would be a good time to trek out of the Norwegian woods and seek snacks, beer, smokes and other necessities at a roadside service station minimart.
As he soldiers on in his faux mountain man garb and waxes enthusiastic about the joys of getting back to basics — after trying, and failing, to lift his spirits with such commonplace endeavors as hiking and ironman races — Bjerg’s Martin looks and sounds more than a little ridiculous, but behaves as though his is a perfectly rational approach to reaffirming his masculinity.
