If you want to have a hearty laugh for an hour and 45 minutes, you should see "The Health Journey." It is healthily refreshing in the winter darkness. Stig-Helmer (Lasse Åberg) sits depressed on his sofa, but when his cheerful friend Ole (Jon Skolmen) visits, a glint appears in his eye—though he quickly returns to his sluggish ways once Ole is out of reach. However, he is noticeably cheered up by his new neighbor, the squirrel-eyed Rebecka (Anna Norberg).
A healthily refreshing film in the winter darkness! A survival course to remember.
Days are filled with water aerobics, mud wraps, tree-hugging, and meditation. When the day of the survival course arrives, everyone feels a bit nervous—except for Stig-Helmer, a former Boy Scout from the "Beaver" patrol. As Stig-Helmer and Ole paddle out of sight, word comes that the Vattenfall dams have been opened. It becomes a survival course that truly delivers!
