Last Base | A Short Film by Aslak Danbolt

When his good friend Roger disappears in a base-jumping accident, Joachim has to promise his girlfriend to give up base-jumping for good. They’re expecting their first child together and base-jumping is far too dangerous for a family man. But first he endevours one last adventure, against his girlfriends wishes. Together with his best-friend Øyvind he sets out to climb Mt. Katthammeren to honour Roger and do his last jump. But when a thunderstorm approaches, their friendship is put to the test. Øyvind wants to turn back, but Joachim will apparently stop at nothing to pull off his very last jump.
