"★★★★★ – A deeply humane and emotionally literate piece of work" – Guardian

★★★★ – Time Out

On a small farm in a Norwegian forest, the Paynes live an isolated life, aiming to be wild and free. They practice home-schooling with their four children and strive for a closely-knit family dynamic in harmony with nature. However, when tragedy strikes the family, it upends their idyllic world and forces them to forge a new path into modern society.

This beautifully intimate documentary is the real-deal Captain Fantastic capturing the challenges of an uprooted family as they attempt to hold onto their off-grid ideals in the modern world. An honest, heart-warming and poignant family portrait.
