A series of films from all over the world about our astonishing planet and the creatures that live on it.

Commentary by Alan Gibson.
Norway has a small human population, living mainly along the coast, so the vast mountain plateaux and the dense forests of the interior are left to the wildlife: the reindeer, the beaver, the fox, and the beautiful snowy owl. After the darkness of winter, every moment of the summer light must be used by the animals to rear their young to a state of independence before the first snow falls and it is winter once again.

Produced, directed, and written in Norway by Albert W. Owesen.
