The Witches

Based on Roald Dahl’s beloved novel, the story follows young Luke and his grandmother as they travel together, only to stumble into a terrifying secret world. When Luke discovers a gathering of witches with a sinister plan, he must rely on quick thinking—and his grandmother’s help—to survive.

Norway’s Bergen contributes a distinctive Nordic setting that supports the film’s moody, storybook atmosphere. The city’s character and coastal surroundings add authentic Scandinavian texture, helping ground the tale in a recognizably Norwegian environment while enhancing its eerie, magical tone.
