“We live in the richest country in the world, son. It didn’t just happen by itself,” the father lectures the main protagonist in the opening of the Norwegian comedy. Not that it matters. In fact, Tommy Olsen had only two options in a small town in Norway in the 1990s – sports or drugs. And he had just injured his knee… The new Norwegian hit, which recently won Scandinavia’s most famous TV screenplay award, is a specific and very contemporary TV version of the British Trainspotting, pumped up with techno, VHS aesthetics and the authenticity of a small town where all the adventures you might encounter are off-the-wall, dangerous and life-changing.
