An encounter. A pike and a man, in the lake Røgden at the Swedish-Norwegian border, in the heart of the Forest of the Finns. The pike, once intrigued by the unfamiliar sounds of a scuba set, is on retreat, away from this strange creature too big to swallow: The man, born and raised close to the lake, now a visual artist in the city. He is visiting this barren and unheimlich landscape, once close to home, yet so inaccessible.
Outer Limit Lotus and Hans Kristian Borchgrevink Hansen give you Night Scene, a meditation on the overwhelming indifference of nature.

Night Scene
there is nothing here
there is nothing left
move along
move along
there is nothing to see
in my eyes
in my ears
in this night
there is no light
there is no day
there is no you
there is nothing here
there is nothing left
move along
move along
there is nothing to hear
------------
