Two rival villages, Flåklypa and Slidre, decide to re-launch their traditional Cheese Race after years of inactivity. The boastful bird Nolan, the anxious hedgehog Louis and the kind-hearted inventor Reodor are sure they’ll come out on top in this adventurous showdown, but their opponents are not to be taken lightly, and there’s much more than honour at stake here.
Two Buddies and a Badger
Pizzatrynet (voice)

Hidden
Frode
Painful memories arise when Kai Koss inherits his dead mother's house and goes back to his childhood home after 19 years.
O'Horten
Conductor
Odd Horton is dependable and contained: he's a train driver retiring after 40 years of service, living a simple life. His idea of adventure is to fly from one city in Norway to another. Starting on the night of his retirement dinner, Odd has a series of dislocating experiences: a boy insists that Odd sit by his bedside while he falls asleep; misadventure causes Odd to miss his last run; he witnesses an arrest; he assists an old man and makes a friend; he takes a trip with a blindfolded driver; he adopts a dog; he takes stock late one night at the roundhouse; he revisits his mother's disappointment in him. How should he live the rest of his life?
Road Movie
Bård
About the search for love and brilliant film ideas. A meta-film where fiction becomes reality.
Bagasje
Kjetil
Trofast

Most People Live in China
Tankmann 2 (segment "Lasses drøm")
A movie inspired by eight Norwegian political parties, written by six writers and directed by nine directors: a man gets a nasty surprise skinny dipping, a cow eats a cell phone, a lesbian couple loses a child, a blind girl sells dubious lottery tickets, a boy falls in love, a man picks up a hitchhiker, three girls get help from a man in pajamas, and nine old men find a young girl stuck in a swamp.
Cabin Fever
Eivind
The entire extended family is happily on its way to a nostalgic Christmas at a rented cabin in the mountains. The cabin becomes cramped, however, when mom and dad and four grown-up children with their respective families, a dog and in-laws from Poland squeeze inside the frozen cabin walls in 30-below-zero weather.
Ballen i øyet
While near sighted Denise plays football, she accidently gets a ball in her face, and her glasses break. When she wakes up in the hospital she's double sighted.
Desperate Acquaintances
Yngve
Three twenty-something male friends in a non-descript Norwegian city seeking happiness. In the crazy 90s with the sexual confusion, substance abuse, and welfare-abuse prevalent, the quest often involves desperate acquaintances (prostitutes, crazy, wrong choices), but most often through a very personal bond of their own. The three are different: One is gay just coming out, another is a "liberated heterosexual" looking for love (in all the wrong places), and the third a manic depressive who alternates between mental wards and a yuppy existence.
Livredd
Petter
Regnmåleren
Ove Berge
About the weather unpredictability, truth's unreliability and the healthy human skepticism.
Det var en gang
(voice)
Based on three classic Norwegian folk tales collected by Asbjørnsen and Moe: The Little Boys Who Met the Trolls in Hedal Forest, Three Lemons and The Twelve Wild Ducks.
The Last Lieutenant
Norwegian war drama. The old sea-captain retires, but the next day German WWII occupation of Norway begins. He then kisses his wife good-bye and is off to Army HQ. There he finds a lack of leadership and morale that offends him. They even laugh at him and his out-dated uniform and officer-rank. Secondloitnanten then finds and leads his private troop of volunteers against the German attack. The movie tells the story of a man that refuses to give up, even when everybody else leaves. He will fight for the country he loves and do his duty.
Svarte pantere
Erik
After a series of ever more daring raids on laboratories and farms to rescue what they believe are mistreated animals, a radical commune of animal liberationists find themselves under a vicious attack by the very groups they had expected the least trouble from: other (more moderate) animal liberation groups. At the instigation of these more moderate groups, the only rich boy in the group is arrested, and he becomes subject to a smear campaign which has him bedding all the women in the group - a particularly damaging libel, because one of the girls is underage. This is the first film to be directed by Thomas Robsahm, the Norwegian son of the great Italian actor, Ugo Tognazzi (now deceased)
Byttinger
Terje
