Festning Norge

Norway, 2037. While Europe is rocked by chaos, the country has isolated itself and lives self-sufficiently and prosperously. The biologist Esther Winter works in food supply. When contact with a salmon farming platform near Bergen breaks off, alarm bells ring for her. In front of the border walls, where thousands of refugees are waiting, British woman Uma is happy to be able to enter the country with her husband Charlie and their baby. However, a health check jeopardizes her dreams.

The Brit Charlie enters Norway with his daughter as a legal migrant worker. His wife Uma hopes to follow with the help of smugglers. But a military drone attacks the dinghy. Meanwhile, Esther has to give up her plans for a sabbatical with her family in Oslo. The biologist is needed: A mysterious salmon disease that supposedly comes from "outside" is endangering the food supply!

Esther gets caught up in a PR drama. Unprepared, she has to read out an official statement: the dangerous bacteria was brought in by refugees! Prime Minister Heyerdahl, who abuses the biologist's reputation, imposes protective measures on Bergen, further restricting the population's freedoms. The Brit Charlie now works on a plantation. He worries about his wife: there has been no sign of life since the drone attack on the refugee boat.

Esther doubts the "foreign" origin of the plague bacteria. Covered-up evidence points to a scandal: Was there an accident with a vaccine? With her research, the courageous biologist puts herself in danger and in the crosshairs of the Prime Minister's movement. Meanwhile, Charlie mourns the loss of his wife, who is officially listed as "Patient Zero". He narrowly escapes a deportation squad and makes his way to Esther. Charlie goes into hiding with her family to find out the truth together.
