Buddy
Directed by Morten Tyldum
Produced by Happy Endings A/S
A lighthearted comedy-drama about friendship and finding unexpected success, centered on three roommates whose stunt videos become their path out of ordinary life.
Kristoffer lives in Oslo with his friends Geir and Stig Inge. He works as a billboard installer, and in his spare time he makes a video diary with Geir and Stig, containing stunts of a Jackass-nature. When Kristoffer's girlfriend, Elisabeth, leaves him, his life seems to fall to pieces. Until his videos are featured on Norway's most popular talk show and Kristoffer becomes famous.
