  Point	Karl, a frustrated businessman and young father is on his way to his son's birthday party when he gets stuck on a malicious traffic island in the middle of a forest. Said traffic island sucks the blood of the dead bodies of those who try to cross the road at a red light - and thus get run over by trucks with exorbitant speed. As Karl is trying to escape, a struggle for life and death unfolds, lasting an entire year. "90 degrees north" makes us question the blind faith in our system and shows a new way of thinking in order to change our beliefs.
