Synopsis:

The chase must go on: After the furious car chase of the first edition, treehouse #2 takes off to helicopters. The treehouse series by Bjørn Melhus plays with moments of denaturalized and claustrophobic collisions in a romantic setup of a treehouse, which usually functions as a refuge from the world outside.
