The mountain pass above the Geiranger Fjord in Norway collapses. The giant rockslides that fall into the sea create 85-meter high waves, setting off a disastrous tsunami. Kristian, a leading geologist, is among those impacted by this disaster and will have to race against time to survive. A natural disaster movie notable for its impressive visual effects, the film was Norway’s entry in the “Best Foreign Language Film” category at this year’s Academy Awards.
