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.

“It’s thoughtful, challenging, and quietly moving. It’s a film that will make you reflect and push you out of your door, away from your screens, and ready for an adventure.”
