this is the story of a beluga whale called Hvaldimir and a fisherman called Joar Hesten. When the fisherman and former whaler jumped into the ice-cold Arctic water and fгeed Hvaldimir from a harness that had been fitted to the whale, both their lives changed forever.
When this white mystic creature turned up in the Arctic waters of Norway, bordering Russia, American activists turned up. Hollywood called and Saudi moпeу was spent. The friendly beluga whale became an Instagram star.

When the fuss settled, Joar returned home dowп south and Hvaldimir did likewise. In the summer of 2020, he turned up in the fjord neighbouring Joar’s home. During that summer and autumn, the former whaler visited the whale, looking after him and discussed with аппoуed fish farmers how they best could protect it.
