Set sail with a crew of swashbuckling Dutchmen and travel back to a time when much of the world was still unmapped, and the charting of new trade routes from Europe to the Indies meant wealth and power for those courageous and foolhardy enough to brave the seas. Based on the true story of a failed mission to discover a route to Asia across the Arctic Circle, this 16th century period piece follows Willem Barentsz and crew from the port of Amsterdam to an island north of Russia. When their ship gets stuck in the ice, the crew must fend off polar bears and frostbite in order to survive the harsh winter. Gorgeous cinematography and icily exotic locales will whisk you away in this epic, romantic seafaring adventure. In Dutch with English subtitles.
