- Countrymen
- Storyline
- A group of young men with dubious plans from the eastern part of Oslo move to a farm in picturesque Telemark, in the rural Norwegian countryside. They pretend to be driven by a common interest in agriculture - an agenda hiding totally different plans. Life in the countryside turns out to be quite different from what the young men have imagined, and everything from curious neighbors and a large herd of goats, to an establishment grant from the municipality, makes it difficult to get away with their dubious plans. More or less against their will, they end up as the founders of Norway's first halal cheesemaking business.
