Restauration
There was a time in Norway's history (1825–1930) when prospects seemed so poor that half the population decided to leave the country in search of a better life. The first vessel to set sail was named "Restauration", carrying 52 people from Stavanger to New York. The journey was filled with unexpected and daunting challenges. Yet upon arrival in New York, not only had everyone survived, but the number of people on board had increased by one. The original "Restauration" never returned to its country of origin, but a group of enthusiasts in Norway built a replica of the boat that was launched in 2010. They decided to retrace the original journey 200 years later. This documentary tells the remarkable story of both trips, two centuries apart.

When the Vikings Thor, Loki and Balder once again set sail with the Viking ship, they are dragged into a maelstrom that throws them out at the other end, in our time. The challenges seem endless when they have to try to adapt to an age where the tricks of technology roll and people master them without blinking. They struggle with integration and are constantly made fun of for their lack of knowledge about most things. It seems hopeless and they decide that they want to go back to their own time, and even though they lacked most things back then, it was as usual better in the "old days" and they long to go back. But how will they get back? In development
