Synopsis: "This conventional sports film is about an ice hockey team brought up from the basement of their league to playoff status by a coach who favors praise and good doses of self-confidence, over the tactics of the unscrupulous manager who feels any dirty tricks that work are fine. Caught in the push-and-pull between the coach and manager and the desire to succeed, a young player is forced to choose between his two loves -- a particular woman, and the game of hockey. (Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide)"

"Prima Veras saga om Olav den hellige"

A spoof in the Python vein of Norway's patron saint. Sverre Anker Ousdal has a cameo as Dale-Gudbrand, here at the end of part 3/10 and the beginning of 4/10, very, er, fierce in a mighty red beard.

Synopsis: "Using the context of a drowning man who reviews his life and past major events in his last moments, this long, pessimistic film looks at ponderous and depressing subjects: young hotheads only interested in expounding their viewpoints, corpses in a concentration camp, Norwegians giving a "heil Hitler" one-armed salute to the Gestapo leader in Oslo in 1941, the atomic bomb explosions in World War II, and personal issues of bad relationships. It seems like everything in the world is going down with the drowning man. (Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide)"
