He can’t say no to the urge to burn. In a peaceful and closely-knit Norwegian village, fear spreads like wildfire, as night by night, an unidentified arsonist goes on a wrecking spree of starting a series of fires. Unbeknownst to villagers, the pyromaniac is no less than an avid fireman himself, Dag - the son of the fire brigade’s chief. As suspicions among his closest grow, Dag’s reach becomes increasingly sinister and audacious, and dread takes over the village.

Norwegian Wood - isn’t it good? It's the sixties in Oslo, and four friends are teetering between adolescence and adulthood as only teenage boys can. They fancy themselves to be the Fab Four, though their band, the Snafus, has yet to master a single song. For these boys, listening to the new Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album is like "listening to God say 'let there be light' on day one." They navigate the treacherous shoals of young love and early adulthood to the innocent beat of early Rock 'n Roll, against the backdrop of the nascent global anti-war movement.
