Summaries

It's not easy to rebel when your dad wants to join the party... One day (in 1979), Magnus and his son Nikolaj hit the wall in their new terrace house in Rykkinn. Magnus is an architect, hippie and free spirit, a glaring exception in a community where equality and conformity is the norm. He always stands up for his son, supporting him unconditionally, even when Nikolaj decides to stop giving a damn. SONS OF NORWAY is a film about rebellion, punk rock, suburban hell and the struggle between freaks and punks. But most of all, it's the story of an unusual father-son relationship, and about the strength of the bonds we sometimes do our best to rip apart.—Kim Pham

Nikolai lives in a small village with his parents and his brother Peter. He has a happy and carefree life. However, his life changes after his mother, died from car accident. Deeply haunted by his mother's passing and Peter being sent to his grandparents' house, he becomes rebellious, causing a lot of trouble in his town, joining a musical band, and getting some body piercing that an adult would do. After a trip to a nudist camp, he begins to think about his past actions. While having a cake with his father, the past memory of his mother's death irritates him. What he is going to do is gonna cost him.—DrDumb
