Little Things

On a car journey across the Lofoten archipelago in Norway, a conversation takes place between the passengers. While the view from the car window reveals vistas of sublime natural beauty at every turn, the conversation turns to an insurance policy that refused to pay out for a laptop that had been damaged while travelling. An uneasy contrast emerges between the spectacular image of the arctic landscape and the intricacies of the insurance claim process. The mundane resignation of the passengers is at odds with their awe-inspiring surroundings.
