diamia-40567 I saw this film about a decade ago at a film festival and have longed to watch it again ever since. It left such an impression on me about the life choices that we make. At a time when people are feeling more out of control than ever in their lives, I think this film is an antidote for mindful living and life choices. Some extreme choices were made by some of the individuals featured in this documentary and were inspiring in terms of their courage to make them. I also really appreciated the philosopher Arne Naess' comments that add perspective. This is a great documentary that needs to be seen by more people. I wish I knew how I might watch it again.

boomstick42 The movie brilliantly considers what a person wants to do with ones life. Do you want to live a perfectly square life, with a job, mortgage, kids and a station-wagon? Or do you want to leave it all behind and just life your life on a day to day basis and try to live out your dreams? In this movie you will meet some people who have broken with the "normal" way, and instead found happiness in other forms. You'll meet a mountain-climber, a man who runs the last forest fire-watchtower in Norway and two guys who's quit their jobs and bought a boat and living from day to day. And you will also meet Arne Næss, the 92 year old philosopher.This is a movie that will make you question what makes you happy, and asks you: Are you really living the life you want to?
