Loop is a full-length documentary film investigating modern people’s relationship with time, seen through the eyes of some of our time’s rather extreme consumers. The people we meet have each in their own way made drastic decisions concerning their life situations.A 41-year-old extreme sport practitioner with ambitions to climb a spectacular mountain, then throw himself off the mountain in a base jump. Two part-time fishermen and skiing enthusiasts who are getting tired of urban life in Narvik go on an immensely long journey in their rowing boat to go skiing under ultimate conditions on one of the unique islands of Lofoten.An ambulance driver and former UN rep in Lebanon and Bosnia takes a break from his extremely hectic life to sit alone in a tower in the middle of a forest in Østfold county, where his only assignment is to scout with binoculars for four months and make sure the forest doesn’t catch fire.At the end of a long journey, the 92-year-old philosopher Arne Næss Senior looks back at the decisions he made and the decisions he did not make.
