The ferry that has been sailing daily between Stockholm and Helsinki since 1959 is known
for the wild drinking that goes on, encouraged by the taxfree shops, bars and discotheques
on board. Here the usually introverted Scandinavians cut loose in a way that is
incomprehensible to outsiders.

Together with a group of passengers we cross the border into a different world. The further
we get out at sea, the more people seem to be transformed into savage Vikings.

LOS is the result of the first Wildcard for documentaries; an awards programme of the
Dutch Film Fund to give young filmmakers the opportunity to produce their first film after
graduation.
