The DNF Bus

With over 15,000 participants and millions of TV viewers worldwide, Vasaloppet is one of Sweden’s most popular competitions – a 90-kilometer race that for some can take up to 16 hours to complete.

But what happens to those who don’t finish the race? Those who have trained too poorly or have too little kick wax – or perhaps fell and broke their pole. The reasons for breaking are countless, but one thing these skiers have in common: the unpleasant journey to Mora in the Brytbussen. A documentary by Johan Palmgren and Björn Carlberg.
