This is a show about the experiences of a young girl as she embarked on an adventure of spending 4 months of dark winter alone with a trapper.
What I liked about the show is the acute portrayal of the the young girl's (Ellen) relationship for the trapper as her emotions grow from an initial sense of disgust and even contempt at his naivety and gradually matures as she realises and accepts the man behind the bumblingness.
The portrayal of the trapper, Lars, as someone socially inept may not be new, but his lack of survival skills is both endearing and unexpected.
Ellen finally realises that for most of her life, she had been trying to live up to expectations of being special, as she had always been treated so. The problem of success has always been trying to maintain it.
I liked the show so much that I watched it twice, something that I have not done for a long time.
