Smile and Wave goes to the top of the world, North Cape.

SMILE and WAVE  received a brilliant reception at Norway's most delightful film festival. It touched the audience and gave room for many fine conversations afterwards. But the hunt for heart urchins on the beach at Honningsvåg Airport yielded no results. The conditions are perhaps too harsh even for brave heart urchins so far north.
