The Marathon Diary

The coldest race on earth.

A Short Animation by Hanne Berkaak. vimeo.com/hanneberkaak

Always Last embarks on an adventurous marathon through the ice cold and mythic landscape of Lapland. But she soon discovers that the run is not going to be a straight line between start and finish. Finally, it is not about winning or losing. The risk is losing yourself.
