Hese is a 44 year old Finnish man trying to solve the paradox of wanting to be constantly on the move and to find a home to settle down. To this end, he plans to build a mobile home and find a place to turn off the engine for good. He travels from Finland to Anchorage, Alaska, customizes a 60 yearold truck with his friends and drives to Vancouver Island to seek peace of mind. At least, that’s the plan.
Alcan Highway is a film about a journey, a dream which seems to be coming true. But is it what Hese really wants?
With no place to call home in his native Finland, Hese’s dream home is a rusted, broken-down truck parked in Alaska. Refashioning the t ruck into a mobile home, he ventures out on a 4000-km journey in hopes of finding a place to finally settle down.
