Storyline

Kristoffer is a billboard hanger, 24 years old and carefree. When his girlfriend Elisabeth dumps him for the boss of her trend bureau, his life falls into pieces. He feels like a loser. By coincidence some of Kristoffer's video diaries end up with the producer of the popular talk show "Karsten Tonight" in TV2. A few weeks later Kristoffer's life has become TV entertainment. People love the sequences from his commune at Tøyen: Kristoffer's half-twisted view of his surroundings, his crazy best friend Geir, not to mention the weird web designer Stig Inge, who hasn't set foot outside the Tøyen shopping center for two years. Kristoffer's future again looks bright, everyone likes him, but revealing your life on national television comes with a price tag. As Kristoffer's future in the TV business looks brighter and brighter, his friends start suffering. Geir's big secret is revealed, and Stig Inge's personal problems are much more serious than Kristoffer first thought. It will cost him a ... Written by Anonymous

Real Life entertainment...
10 October 2003 | by (Mandal, Norway) – See all my reviews

Absolutely great movie. This one is a winner if you're considering inviting that girl/boy you've liked from 5th grade to Cinema.

Roles are well played by young and hopeful actors from Norway. They are making the movie trustworthy and REAL!

The movie is about 3 blokes living together. One of them, Kristoffer, with a special interest in filming decides to accept an offer where he's supposed to film his ordinary daily life with his friends. They're series is a great success from day one, but everything is not the way it should be. Fame and glory tests they're friendship...

The Movie is full of joyful moments and isn't rushing away. Every scene is well planned and gives you detailed view as both love and friendship are being put to a test.

All you need to do is sit down, relax and enjoy this masterpiece!
