Synopsis
Jonny, Magnus, and Tuva grew up together in a small farming town. Tuva married Magnus, but cheats on him with his best friend Jonny. The three friends are intertwined like this. With the dream of striking it rich with a worm farm, he gets hit in the head with a shovel, becomes a target of a stray bullet, and when he finally gets the worm farm, it falls apart. His misfortune doesn’t stop there. His stepfather leaves all of a sudden and his mother, who goes after him, gets into a car accident. The car bought for the worm farming business gets totaled and the farm faces foreclosure. Not being able to take it anymore, Jonny leaves for Oslo. All of these misfortunes take a 180 turn when he meets a mysterious man with an axe. Although this film is set on the plains of Norway, it somehow has a feel of a western. The townsfolk gathered in the club, Johnny walking into the club with a gun, the sheriff straight out Dodge City, and the music all reminds the audience of a western. Centered around one episode, the film is one of those that focuses on the story, rather than the characters. (LEE Byung-hee)
