After the attacks of September 11, 2001 , Mette Tronvoll received permission to spend months observing a special unit that was being trained to ward off terrorist attacks in a remote military camp in northern Norway. The soldiers were not allowed to show their faces for security reasons. This is how recordings were made in which the protagonists are either seen from behind or hide their faces behind storm masks .
