A lot changed after Jenny survived the terrorist attack on Utøya, but nature was the same as ever. When she is trapped in memories and bad feelings, it helps to get out into nature and feel that life goes on. On the skateboard, she almost flies through the landscapes, and the bad feelings are replaced with peace and a feeling of freedom.
Resurface is the first short in the series Outbound, where people with different backgrounds tell us about how they use nature to cope with everyday stress and mental challenges. In Resurface the Director, Jenny, tells her own story.
