Description A Life Affirming Comedy

A charming, funny celebration of the simple things in life, Elling centers on sensitive and smart Mummy’s boy Elling and his new roommate, the uncouth and a little hopeless Kjell – The Odd Couple of Oslo – a pair of confused souls taking their first steps in the outside world after years of isolated institutional life.

Elling charts the bumps and stumbles as this pair makes their way back into the world we take for granted – building friendships, becoming accustomed to all things ordinary and starting to experience the pleasure of the everyday. We share their joy
