Falso documental noruego que narra la historia de un grupo de estudiantes que trata de destapar una conspiración del gobierno que implica a Trolls gigantes que viven en Noruega. Lo que nos propone el film es que el gobierno noruego ha estado ocultando el hecho de que existe una población secreta de Trolls viviendo en cotos de caza en la zona del polo norte del país, manteniéndolos seguros y alejando la atención pública del lugar y la posibilidad de que se desate el pánico masivo si la gente se entera de que estas criaturas son reales.
Volviendo de un viaje de caza en el bosque, el coche de la familia Henderson golpea a un animal en el camino. Al principio temen que sea un hombre, pero se dan cuenta que es un "bigfoot". Pensando que está muerto, deciden llevarlo a su casa pensando en un posible beneficio económico. Pero no está muerto y, además, lejos de ser el monstruo feroz que temían, resulta ser un gigante amistoso.

This is a psychological drama about Louis Riquier (Charles Berling), a veteran of the Algerian war and a divorced father whose wife (Beatrice Palme) has custody of their children and who barricades himself with the kids in his country house. The police and the press surround the house, but he does not want to surrender. Instead, he gets more and more violent. Manipulated by their father, the kids go along with the scenario, taking it as a game. The film has as background the turbulence of 1968, with all its left-wing political implications. As in the director's previous film (Vieux fusil (The Old Gun), the gun also has multiple purposes here. Literally speaking, it is the instrument of crime; metaphorically, it is the force that would liberate the poor victim from his tragic fate. But the hero is just too violent and emotionally disturbed to evoke one's pity.
