Synopsis
Two estranged friends. Six hundred kilometres. One unforgettable journey.
In The North, director Bart Schrijver invites audiences on a breathtaking pilgrimage through the Scottish Highlands, where the raw beauty of the land collides with the unspoken weight of the past. Chris and Lluis, once inseparable, reunite after years apart to tackle the West Highland Way and the Cape Wrath Trail. What begins as a physical challenge soon becomes a test of trust, endurance, and the possibility of reconnection.
Shot entirely on location, the film captures the Highlands in all their elemental force, mist curling over ridges, rain sweeping across valleys, silence stretching as wide as the lochs. Performances by Bart Harder and Carles Pulido ground the epic scenery with intimate emotion, their restrained chemistry revealing as much in pauses as in words. A moving blend of adventure and meditation, The North is a cinematic experience for anyone drawn to stories of resilience, friendship, and the healing power of nature.
Screening at Luna Leederville, Luna on SX, and the Windsor from June 4.

Reviews
Bart Schrijver’s majestic second feature is perhaps the ultimate hiking film... The North has a kind of purifying and uplifting effect that builds as the hikers approach their destination.
The scenery, naturally, is beyond spectacular. And the story... is engrossing and moving.
It’s beautiful, and it’s brilliant, and much like a walk, it’s good for you.
This is stunning country under any circumstances, and if you can’t be there in person, watching this on a big screen is the next best thing.
