Synopsis Trolls (2022)
Tells of a giant ancient troll creature who awakens in the mountains of Dovre after a huge explosion from a railroad tunnel construction project.
Paleontologist Nora Tidemann who grew up in the Dovre mountains is called upon by the government to find out about the tracks left by a giant troll that is on its way to the Norwegian capital, Oslo, destroying everything in its path.
Nora and Prime Minister's adviser, Andreas Isaksen, team up with the military, and his father Tobias Tidemann, to quickly stop the creature before it causes a major disaster that takes many lives.
Initially the Prime Minister and other government representatives did not believe that what they were actually facing was a mythological creature, a giant troll.
However, they don't have much time. Can they stop the trolls? Should Oslo be evacuated immediately?
