NORWAY
The Idiots meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. That's how Variety described this politically incorrect black comedy that follows a therapy group for handicapped people that goes into total disarray when a rebellious newcomer challenges their positive outlook on life. Group psychologist Tori's sugary outlook on life makes her believe that everything can be seen from the bright side. She has a slogan and a response to every possible hint of self-pity or criticism. But when she decides to include the partially paralyzed Geirr in her group of "saved" members, she ends up fighting to the limit. For he can see nothing positive in his new existence of being wheelchair-bound after an accident. With the help of booze, drugs and biting black humor, he gradually manages to get the others in the group to reveal their darker sides. Print courtesy of Norwegian Film Institute. ( 79 min )
