An academic football fanatic gets the opportunity to coach Norway's national team in 1990, and ends up leading them on a fairytale winning streak that changes the country forever.

In 1990, Norway was a struggling country with a losing football team. They hadn't qualified for the World Cup in over 50 years. But a fateful stroke of luck came in the form of an academic football fanatic who taught the sport in a classroom. Egil «Drillo» Olsen became the coach of Norway's national team, and led the country on a fairytale winning streak with the help of an uncompromising, analytical strategy. This archive-only VHS-infused documentary tells the unbelievable story of how a man, a vintage computer, and a team of small-town underdogs, shocked the world.—Fenomen Studios
