In cold voodoo town

Tsunami struck Norway and three years later the bona fide hero of the catastrophe Kristian Eikjord (Kristoffer Joner) ain't doing so well. He's become a hermit and a doomsayer with a nervous breakdown to whom even the company of her own daughter is too much of a crowd. Only another major catastrophe looming on the horizon energizes him, but is it too late to rescue the city of Oslo and his entire family from total devastation? The predecessor The Wave (2015) was already surprisingly well-made, tragic, devastating and hair-raising catastrophe movie for a Scandinavian feature and this one follows suit.
