Hjem - Living at the End of the World
"What does home mean to you?"
What does the term "home" mean for people who find themselves confronted daily with the simultaneous harshness and beauty of life in the Arctic Circle? And what does "home" mean for us? In their documentary, the filmmakers Martina Chamrad and Christoph Kirchner seek answers in Hammerfest, Norway, the northernmost city in the world.

Review by Mark ★★★
Decent film with a "I live in the most beautiful place on Earth" tone.
Beautiful scenery, nice people, mundane sentiments on "home". Not unique to Hammerfest of course, can be found in countless places. Film can't really rise above that. May be worth 45 minutes of someone's time, for the scenery if nothing else.
