The famous Swedish explorer and filmmaker Mikael Strandberg is now deep in Kyrgyzstan’s Celestial Mountains more than 2.000 meters over the sea level, with his daughters Eva (15) and Dana (13) not far from the Kazakhstan-China border and almost cut off from the world.

Their hike will become the documentary No Map for Growing Up. When Eva was seven she nearly lost her sight in a Greenland storm, so Mikael raced thousands of kilometres by bike through Sweden, Turkey and Namibia to let her and Dana see the world while they still could. Eight years later the girls steer the route and the camera, trekking with one pack-horse and no roadmap.

This is the first ever Swedish- Kyrgyz co-production film project in the making, which we co-produce with Adilet Karzhoev.
