Havrå is one of the last and best preserved of the common farm clusters on the western coast of Norway.

Havrå is situated on very steep terrain on the south side of the island of Osterøy, along the Sørfjorden.

The farm area is shaped in a typical fashion for the steep terrain along the Western Norwegian fjords.

Many of the buildings at Havrå are characteristic to the inner coastal district between Bergen and the Sognefjorden; the combination of dry masonry and juniper cladding on barn façades that are exposed to rain and wind.

Some of the people taking part in the film worked to change the name from Havre to Havrå.
