This cinematic documentary is set entirely in Oslo, Norway’s capital. Yet it is not a film about people. It’s about the animals that thrive in the seams of city life. Beavers build their lodges along the banks of the river. Further downstream, salmon leap, defying concrete barriers, returning with ancient urgency. A moose appears in a snowy garden, steam curling from its nostrils as it nibbles fallen apples. Foxes streak through alleyways and playgrounds, stealing sausages and teaching their kits to survive. Badgers tunnel under flowerbeds and fences, transforming Oslo’s suburbs into subterranean empires. Beyond the last tram stop, wolves roam the forests that encircle Oslo — silent, spectral, and almost mythic. Above it all, a peregrine falcon. The city itself becomes her hunting ground, a vertical savannah of steel and shadow. These creatures don’t pass through the city — they live within it.
