ODINS ØJE

»Odin's Eye« is the story of the Creation, the origin of man, and the struggle between Ases (Aesir) and Giants of Nordic mythology. The film offers children and young people from 7 years and upwards the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the myths and the sagas of the Viking Era. »Odin's Eye« is about birth, life, death and rebirth. Odin has created the world and tries to organize it by ousting the Giants. But, when his son Balder has terrible dreams, Odin begins to think that maybe he has created the wrong kind of world. He dives into Mimer's Well to learn the truth. The giant, Loke, appears in the water and speaks to Odin: "I am you. I am all your thoughts". And, in a way, one could say that Odin has become wiser. But then also, he realizes that he has lost an eye in exchange for the knowledge he has acquired.
