At the beginning of the film, three college students wanted to take photos of poachers, because there were repeated incidents near their school. Legal bear hunters in Norway said that they could always see a person haunting here, and that person did not have a bear hunting license. But as the tracking went deeper, the students discovered that dead bears were just a blindfold used by the government, and there was a shocking secret hidden behind it.
It turns out that this so-called poacher named Hans works for the government, and his task is to kill Troll who broke into human territory, no matter how old or young. He worked all his life, working hard and hated it. This time, for some reason, the Trolls started to move again, and he had to take up his weapon and throw himself into the battle again.
The government has always concealed the existence of Trolls, and the way to deal with them is to set up high-tension wires, once they break into the law. The government official in charge of this task held a poker face and demanded that a form be filled out for every kill. And warn those students to turn off the camera, and don't even think about taking the tape away even if the film is taken. When the students asked him why he wanted to hide it from the public, people didn't know that he would die if he bumped into it. The official was expressionless and said nothing.
This is a seemingly absurd movie. The director uses this absurd plot to satirize the government's way of doing things. First of all, most governments conceal problems from the public when there is a problem. The so-called do not want to cause panic, but the public has the right to know. Just like the female student said, people who don’t know will die if they bump into it. Secondly, the government's solution to the crisis is simple and rude. For example, Troll is just one word, kill! The reason for this incident was that a mountain Troll had rabies. The government didn't want to know why, and it took a one-hundred-and-hundred-and-hundred-and-hundred-for-all methods. As a result, the bear became a scapegoat, and a dead bear was placed at the scene of the accident. More ironically, the official asked the Poles to buy a dead bear. He originally wanted a Norwegian bear. They actually bought a Polish bear and it was in the zoo. The officials were dissatisfied with giving very little money, and personally pressed some bear footprints on the ground. Poles don’t ask why they want to die. They say that we Poles are in trouble to solve the problem, and we don’t ask but do it. In the end, the government is not really doing things for the public interest, but how to do it for itself. Taxpayers worked so hard to pay taxes to the government with their wages so that the government would help themselves in times of crisis. In the end, they realized that if they were killed because of the government's inaction, they could only admit bad luck.
At the end of the film, the official and the Prime Minister of Norway held a press conference, and the Prime Minister admitted that Norway had Troll while talking without a word. The official who engaged was very upset. Everyone had worked so hard to conceal the secret for so many years and was stabbed out by a big-mouthed politician. Of course, there is no room for redemption. The TV station can stop broadcasting. It doesn't matter if something goes wrong, just keep it secret.
