If you had to choose between safety and freedom – what would you choose?One year after the Russian “Silk Occupation” forced Norway to resume oil production, the daily life of Norwegians is still remarkably similar to the one we currently know. Nevertheless, something alien has taken root. The Occupants look very much like us, but their language and their habits gives them away and makes them noticeable. What do they want? They’re already in charge of the oil, which was the reason why they arrived in the first place. Why don’t they leave? After a long period of political weakness and inability to act, the government resigns and is replaced by a caretaker government. These technocrats soon gain unexpected support by demonstrating decisiveness and efficiency. They get things done. The decision processes are streamlined. The ideological differences and resistance to Russian interference are replaced by relentless pragmatism and extensive cooperation. Meanwhile, it becomes increasingly obvious that the premise for ruling the country is set by somebody else. The silk glove is turning into an iron glove. This forces the question of who’s with the intruders and who’s against them. This season starts with an armed conflict between the Norwegian Coast Guard and a Russian Security Company, guarding the oil installation of Melkøya in Northern Norway. Arms are pointed at one another. No one wants to back down.This high tensed crisis situation creates a chain of conflicts that has severe consequences – politically and personally. The question that everybody has to ask them selves constantly is:Who can you trust?
