In history books Størmer is referred to as "The Northern Lights photographer”: he will go down in history as the first person to construct a camera that could capture the Northern Lights. But it is another of his photographic endeavors that is the basis for this film: The young student Carl Størmer walked around in Christiania (Oslo) from 1893 to 1897 with his detective camera and took everyday pictures of people.
