Plot summary

The shipping forecast, vital information for some, a moment of reverence for others. Not many people have visited the places in question, yet the names are so familiar. In a mixture of documentary and art film we travel to the remote weather stations dotted around the Swedish coast. With unshakable resolve, Ola defies the difficulties and dangers in his attempt to get closer to the powers behind the weather.
