Kristoffer (Nicolai Cleve Broch) is a billboard hanger, 24 years old and carefree. When his girlfriend Elisabeth (Janne Formoe) dumps him for the boss of her trend bureau, his life falls into pieces.
As of 2014, director Morten Tyldum has only made four films over a 12-year period (this being his first). While this one is simple (even incorporating the use of home video footage), it is rather effective and was well-received in Norway. Now that Tyldum is getting international recognition with "The Imitation Game", many more people will likely discover this title for the first time.
While this is not the sort of film that would have received Oscar attention, it is the sort of film that can launch a hugely successful career. And for that it may be worth checking out.
