New Trailer for ‘The North’: Two Friends Trek Through Scotland’s Highlands
Picturehouse has released the official U.S. trailer for Dutch director Bart Schrijver’s newest feature, The North. The film follows former roommates Chris (Bart Harder) and Lluis (Carles Pulido) as they reconnect on a decade‑long journey across Scotland’s West Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail.
Documentary‑Style Storytelling
Shot entirely along the actual hiking route, the film unfolds in chronological order, giving viewers a raw, almost documentary feel. Schrijver’s approach captures the quiet moments of conversation and the breathtaking vistas that shape the characters’ emotional arc.
Friendship and the Healing Power of Nature
At its core, The North is an ode to friendship and the restorative influence of the natural world. The two protagonists, separated for ten years, find themselves rediscovering each other—and themselves—amid the rugged Scottish landscape.
Trailer Highlights
The U.S. trailer showcases sweeping shots of lochs, misty moors, and towering cliffs, intercut with intimate scenes of the friends sharing stories and laughter. The pacing mirrors the physical journey, building toward a quiet, reflective conclusion.
Why It Resonates
Fans of the Before series will recognize the film’s focus on dialogue and personal history, but The North steers clear of romance, instead offering a contemplative look at life’s milestones and the bonds that endure.
