01 / THE STORY

Beyond the familiar shores

Some journeys
begin with courage.

A missing father. A powerful staff.
A young woman who refuses to turn back.

When her father vanishes after an ambush, Astrid sets out to find him and finish the mission he began: returning the Staff of Virtues to its rightful home.

Her path leads into a world shaped by Scandinavian mythology. With every trial, she discovers that becoming a leader takes more than strength. It takes the courage to stand for the truth.

About the archive & historical credits

Early film listings credit Robert Rhodin as director. The synopsis reflects the November 2010 production announcement. The artwork comes from White Shark AB’s 2009 report. These materials document earlier development stages; they do not establish a current cast, production team or release date.

Forestlight’s 2011 annual report (pages 4–5) records that its Bron Studios partnership ended during 2011 and describes the search for new partners. No cinema or streaming release is announced on this website.

The fjord landscape was newly created with AI for this website in 2026. The two gallery images are original 2009 concept artwork, not newly generated film stills.
