Amundsen

Synopsis

A story about one of the world's greatest polar explorers, Roald Amundsen, but also about a fascinating private person. If necessary, he lied and deceived those closest to him to achieve what he wanted. As a result, he succeeded professionally, but paid a high price as a human being. Roald Amundsen's main support for more than twenty years was his brother Leon, who always remained in Roald's shadow. When Roald went too far, it was his brother who had to pay. Yet, Leon was never mentioned in Roald's autobiography and died without any recognition. Through the film about Roald, we also get the story of Leon.
