In the course of a few days in July 1839, one of Romanticism's most significant operatic works is conceived, penned by a composer who has had an enormous influence on an entire era, as well as on posterity. The whole work is staged through a dramatic flight, a stormy voyage, and a liberating encounter with the Norwegian coast.

Meet Weston, changing Africa from the bottom up.

Since 2005, Weston Sianchrongwe has been working for the Norwegian organisation Response Network in Zambia. Response Network is a "Help to self help organization".

Weston is a Training Officer. His job is to travel around to villages in Zambia to inform people of their rights and motivate them to start changing their lives to the better. On his red motor-bike, he has visited more than three hundred villages the last four years. The results have been overwhelming: more than two hundred community school have been started, alongside more than two thousand other projects.

Weston has been teaching people in the villages about their rights to education, to medical care, to be a part of the political society. With the active use of stories and anecdotes, he informs about HIV/AIDS, agriculture, women's groups, skills-training etc. Weston comes across as a great pedagogue. Trough his humour, he quickly finds the tone with the people in the villages. Every night, he puts up his small tent to spend the night. During the weekends, he returns to his small farm where his wife Cecilia and their children live.

Weston Sianchrongwe is the embodiment of an African with a vision of the future of his continent. His deep-rooted attitude is, that the African people have great resources. They only need to be encouraged to use them.

Gatas Gynt is a different film adaptation of Ibsen's play Peer Gynt.

The play is the core of the story, but an additional documentary angle conveys the reflections of the participants and the process of the dramatisation itself.

The actors of the film are "homeless" people in Oslo, the capital of Norway.

Gatas Gynt is based on the fifth and last act of Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt, where Peer encounters the lies of his life and is completely alone.

At its deepest level, Peer Gynt is all about personal dreams and ambitions confronted with reality, about the spiritual dimensions in our existence, linked to the endeavour to find oneself and ones position in a greater environment, a quest for significance and realization of ones true nature.
