Trollsteinen

About This Movie

Trollsteinen is a curious blend of adventure and fantasy, capturing that magical innocence of childhood. It centers around Marit, a young girl on a farm, whose anticipation for a new calf intertwines with her encounters in the nearby woods, home to whimsical trolls, including a tender-hearted little troll who’s lost his mother. The pacing has a gentle rhythm, reflecting the simplicity of rural life while weaving in the enchanting elements of folklore. The practical effects are charmingly dated but add a certain authenticity to the mythical atmosphere, which can be quite captivating. The performances by the young cast, particularly Marit, give the film a heartfelt quality, making the trolls feel more like misunderstood friends than menacing creatures. It’s a unique piece, definitely a conversation starter.
