When his mother, who has sheltered him his entire 40 years, dies, Elling, a sensitive, would-be poet, is sent to live in a state institution. There he meets Kjell Bjarne, a gentle giant and female-obsessed virgin in his 40s. After two years, the men are released and provided with a state-funded apartment and stipend with the hope they will be able to live on their own. Initially, the simple act of going around the corner for groceries is a challenge. Through a friendship born out of desperate dependence, the skittish Elling and the boisterous, would-be lover of women, Kjell Bjarne, discover they can not only survive on the outside, they can thrive. But as their courage grows, the two find oddball ways to cope with society, striking up the most peculiar friendships in the most unlikely places. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

I feel as if the people living in Norway are merely a bunch of anti-social folks who may be living in touch with nature, but who are totally screwed socially. Elling seems to give you the idea. Nevertheless, it is a great social comedy which – I don’t know why – reminded me of The Art of Negative Thinking. Fun, great actors, funny situations. In total, it is a lovable Norwegian surprise and probably one of the legendary comedies in Norway.
