Kids Cup

Kids Cup / Bortebane

Norway, 90', 2021

age recommendation: 9+

A feel-good family film about the world's largest sports tournament for kids, Norway Cup, in Oslo Norway. We dive into five teenagers from different parts of the world, competing to win the gold medal. They all share the same dream, but they meet unexpected obstacles; unfair referees, homesickness, missing the penalty shot. Thankfully there are girls to flirt with and fun fairs and candy shops to take your mind off your loss. A film about friendship and ambitions.
