SET IN 2037 this seven episode series sees a Norway that has severed
all ties with the rest of the world. The decision to isolate, made by a
Norwegian government led by members of the Our Way party, came after
various crises had plagued countries across Europe (and the world) for
years. Surrounded by an enormous wall, the nation has become entirely
self-sufficient, and the fortunate inhabitants enjoy sheltered lives in a
self-sustaining Nordic paradise.
Then there are those on the other side of the wall: the non-Norwegian
people held in
refugee camps, surrounded by barbed wire and armed
soldiers. When a deadly pandemic breaks out and affects Norway’s food
supply, a government advisor
states that the cause came “from the
outside, of course.” But did it, really? In the meantime, the Norwegians
soon realize that the wall meant to protect them is now holding them
prisoner.
