The Call of the North 42 Weeks and One Day

At twenty-five, he chose to play the game of society — ambition, discipline, efficiency. Twelve years later, he had everything: wealth, businesses, prestige. Yet at the top, he felt nothing. “Up,” he would realize, “was not the sky — only a more expensive mask.”

In a moment of despair, he whispered a curse that would soon shape his fate: “If there is no love, let nothing I built remain.” Months later, the global financial crisis of 2008 struck — first his business empire, then his health. A collapsed lung forced him into silence and convalescence. Stripped of image and control, he began to see that losing everything was not punishment, but preparation.

In the summer of 2014, drawn by a quiet impulse, he travelled to Norway. Working under the rain in Bergen and later sleeping in shelters, he discovered that humility could itself be a form of prayer. Small miracles, visions, and a silver coin engraved with the Angel of Courage guided him toward rebirth.

The Call of the North – 42 Weeks and One Day is a true story of fall and transformation. Through loss, illness, and revelation, a man learns that only when love returns — beyond pride, fear, and ambition — can life begin anew.
