The film follows a teenager’s search for her unknown “Viking” father. A rites of passage adventure rooted in Tasha Robson’s growing into herself. Freya Parks portrayal of lead character Tasha Robson as written by critics:
“It is the central performance by Freya Parks that gives the film its real spark. Her portrayal of the defiant and imaginative Tasha could arguably be seen as an attempt to inspire young girls and women to stand up for themselves.”
“Tasha is a mix of both worlds, navigating her hometown with confidence and yet also finding herself at ease in the fjords of Norway. She is wild, naive, impulsive and brave, exactly how you would imagine the daughter of a Viking! There are plenty of stories told about boys searching for their fathers, so it is refreshing to see a film in which a girl sets out on such a quest instead. Her journey to find her father is uplifting but wisely steers clear of being overly sentimental.“
“Tasha is a terrific heroine: half-formed (and I mean that in a good way), passionate, a little wild, childish but with an independent streak. You can picture her, her long brown waves and blonde streak blowing behind her, striding around South Shields like a 21st century Catherine Earnshaw”
