Plot

In the chilling heart of 1928 Arctic, "The Red Tent" unfolds a tale of a monumental airship expedition that had failed to reach its triumphant conclusion. The commander, haunted by the specters of the past, is ensnared in the relentless grip of his memories as he watches a television program depicting the disastrous endeavor he once led. The spectral figures of his former crew appear, stirring up a whirlwind of his past, aiding him in his quest for self-reproach. The plot plunges into the depths of his reminiscences, weaving a tale of the fateful journey of the "Italia" airship, its tragic crash, and the subsequent international efforts to save the stranded crew from the merciless icy wasteland. As the flashback unfolds, the raw reality of the "Italia's" flight is interspersed with the intense rescue operation launched from Kings Bay airfield. The plot further thickens with the daring expedition of the "Krassin" ice-breaker, a beacon of hope in the frozen Arctic expanse. Amid the harsh realities of survival and guilt, a softer, human side emerges as the ethereal beauty C.C., playing Malmgren's girlfriend, adds a touch of warmth to the icy narrative. "The Red Tent" seamlessly merges the past with the present, drawing the audience into a captivating journey of guilt, survival, and human resilience against the unforgiving backdrop of the Arctic.
