What happens

Gåten Ragnarok (lit. "The Riddle Ragnarok") or just simply Ragnarok is a 2013 Norwegian fantasy adventure film about the legendary story of Ragnarök. Archaeologist Sigurd Swenson sets off to Finnmark in search of new physical evidence of Vikings' explorations in the far northern regions of Norway. His expedition with two colleagues and his two children becomes an exploration of Ragnarok, the end of the world in Norse mythology - and the "no man's land" between Norway and Russia, where no one has set foot for ages. The urgent exploration disturbs the ancient site, providing unexpected answers to the mysteries within. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
