On a small farm at the edge of a beautiful Norwegian forest, the Payne family seeks a free existence. They practice home-schooling and strive for a closely-knit family dynamic in harmony with nature. But when tragedy unexpectedly strikes, it upends their idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society. In A NEW KIND OF WILDERNESS, the Paynes’ journey, their triumphs, and struggles, invite reflection as filmmaker Silje Evensmo Jacobsen captures an intimate and soulful portrait of love, life, and growing up.
