In 1925, he was the first person ever to set foot on the North Pole and he brought Titina and her friend, the airship engineer Umberto Nobile. Roald Amundsen was already world famous for his explorations, mapping the Northwest Passage and the South Pole, and in 1925 he would fly in Umberto Nobile’s specially designed airship to the North Pole. ‘Titina’ mixes animation with short documentary footage from the 1920s, putting the reality of the time into perspective.
