    Storyline

    Edit
    Three musicians, all in their fifties, are back on tour. They have fans in every age group and play in huge sold-out arenas around the world. They travel in black Mercedes limousines--each in his own--stay separately in luxury hotels and have separate dressing rooms in the backstage area every night. Only on stage are they together. We watch Morton Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar very closely with our camera. Our mission is to find out why these three, friends since childhood, have become so cold with one another. Something is totally rotten among them, but what? The two blondes in the band, Magne and Paul, formed their first band together at age 10, and like many teens they dreamed of becoming world-famous rock musicians. In 1970s Norway, that was an impossible, childish dream. The country was primarily known for "Zero Points" in the Eurovision Song Contest and had never produced a band that was famous beyond its borders. But of all people, these guys succeeded. Their dream came true. But did it really? All three answer this question with a slight doubt. They actually dreamed of becoming serious rock stars, not teenage idols who were pictured in glossy magazines.

    A wonderful band, with a rich history.
    A wonderful band, with a rich history. Far richer than many people most likely think. A band that has taken a lot of crap especially from the american music industry and music media. A very missunderstood band.

    The movie gives an insight into a complex friendship with it ups and downs, twist and turns and th e flip side of becoming famous too fast.

    The only negative thing about the movie, is that Take On Me is played way to much. . They should have included more songs from their catalogue of over 115 songs in the movie, to give an even more insightful presentation of the band.
