Plot
Petter (Aksel Hennie) has the main role[2] as a commercial offshore diver in the North Sea during the 1970s. Norway is at the beginning of its program for oil harvesting. Petter and his brother Knut have key roles in laying the first [petroleum] pipe in the North Sea.[3] "Norwegians and Americans are cooperating about diving deeper than anyone previously has done, to prepare for installation of a gas pipe. Petter experiences a tragic accident during a test dive. When he later tries to find out what really happened, he experiences that authorities and his colleagues try to put a smokescreen on the matter."[4]
