"Titina registers 11 on a scale of 1-10 for cuteness and charm" - ALLIANCE OF WOMEN FILM JOURNALISTS
PLOT: Italian aeronautical engineer Umberto Nobile enjoys a peaceful life with his beloved dog Titina, rescued from the streets of Rome. One day, the famous Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen contacts him and orders an airship to conquer the North Pole. Nobile takes the opportunity to go down in history, bringing Titina with him. The unlikely trio sets off on an expedition to the last unknown place on Earth. Their search is successful but, in the aftermath of the discovery, the two men begin to fight for glory... Through the eyes of the four-legged celebrity Titina, we rediscover a true story of triumph and defeat.

DIRECTOR NOTES:     KN

Kajsa Næss, born in 1970 in Norway, is one of Norway's leading animation directors. After graduating in 1996, she founded Mikrofilm together with Lise Fearnley. Her short films have won wide acclaim and prestigious awards.

Regarding her film Titina, Næss stated: "I have often based my films on real characters and events, and my feature debut Titina is no exception. The story is inspired by two larger-than-life — and a bit crazy — airship flights to the North Pole in 1926 and 1928, where the small terrier Titina came along"
