DESCRIPTION

The Norwegian pop band a-ha’s dream was international fame. When the song “Take on me” entered the #1 spot on the Billboard chart in 1985 that wish came true. Fame, however, comes at a price and that bill unfortunately had to be paid. Returning friends from childhood to the stage for a joint tour of three musicians – now well into their fifties – means three separate dressing rooms, three separate black limousines and three hotel rooms. Robsahm and Holm’s documentary is not only about music, but also about friendship and community.
