In the near future, Norway has chosen to sever all ties with the rest of the world. Surrounded by an enormous wall, the nation has become entirely self-sufficient. The fortunate inhabitants enjoy a life of well-being in safety. However, when an outbreak of a fatal disease occurs, they soon find themselves trapped behind the very walI that was built to protect them.

Our take

This futuristic series featuring Russell Tovey (Years & Years) echoes current debates, as it questions the relevance of migration policies while putting the subject of resource depletion at the heart of the action.
