“Thoughts in the Hat” is a film by Gerd Aurell and Micael Norberg. In this film Magnus Sjögren, musician and activist, tells us a love story from the past. When Magnus was in his twenties he was searching for a place to stay and he was told about an empty cabin outside Vuollerim. He drives there full of anticipation but when he arrives the curtain moves and someone peeks out. “Thoughts in the Hat” is a film about love, between two human beings, but also between a man and the forest. In the search for the rare northern orchid Nornan, these two tracks intertwine.
