Shipwrecked

Haakon Haakonsen (Stian Smestad), a young Norwegian boy in the 1850s, becomes the sole support of his family as a cabin boy on a ship after his father is injured. Jens (Trond Peter Stamsø Munch), a family friend and a fellow shipmate of Haakon’s father, becomes an older brother to Haakon on their voyage. At first, Haakon has a difficult time adjusting to life at sea, but eventually earns the respect of his shipmates while earning the distrust of the first mate after Haakon catches the first mate with weapons he shouldn’t have. The first mate forces him to promise not to reveal to the captain about the guns, and then keeps tabs on Haakon.

Haakon even discovers a female stowaway (Louisa Milwood-Haigh) who turns into a romantic interest. After the mysterious death of his admired captain and the first mate (Gabriel Byrne) takes over, a new set of suspicious shipmates comes on board. Being on board the ship becomes terrible and Haakon is set to be punished when the new captain finds Mary (the stowaway girl trying to reach her uncle in Calcutta) and punishes whoever helped her. However, before he can be whipped, Haakon survives the sinking of his ship in a terrible storm and wakes up on a deserted tropical island.

After searching the island and discovering treasure and wanted posters for an English pirate named Merrick who looks identical to the new captain and former first mate, Haakon discovers that his suspicious shipmates are pirates. Following a training with a sword and gun, Haakon even manages to use a horn when a gorilla attacks. Haakon befriends the gorilla. As days pass, Haakon begins to miss his family. One day, Haakon sees smoke from a distant island and tries various attempts to get there on a raft of his own.

Upon successfully arriving there, he finds a bunch of natives doing a night dance. Haakon eventually finds Mary with a bunch of traveling natives. When he sees one of the natives dragging Mary, Haakon springs into action frightening the natives with a gunshot until he backs into Jens who explains that the natives are peaceful and saved their lives. Mary explains that they have been traveling island to island looking for Haakon. As the three leave for the other island the next day, Haakon realizes that the pirates are returning to the island. —Wikipedia
