I firmly believed there was a world outside of our own minds . . .
But all around me were challenges. . . . How could we be so sure
there were such things existing apart from us? Philosopher Benedict
Chilwell faces a crisis of confidence and hopes to resolve it in a
self-imposed exile, far away in the north of Norway. From his
cabin, he begins his meditations, pondering the mysteries of
philosophy in the dark Arctic winter. Pride, a whale, love and
lust, the Huldra, God and a chain of causes all interrupt
Benedict's solitude. Could they prove his salvation? In six days
approaching the return of the light, Benedict discovers a basis for
certainty and tries his best to convince his hosts. Through doubts,
questions and reasoning, Chilwell inadvertently follows in
Descartes' footsteps. Will he be killed by the cold too; or will
the warmth of Plato's sun save him in time?
