“Forever Young!” The musical promise in Alphaville's smash hit becomes reality for Jarle Klepp: Set in 1980s Stavanger, this coming-of-age drama tells of Jarle's conflicts with his alcoholic father Terje, who sees himself as the family's "company commander", a position which he simultaneously sabotages with his bouts of violence; and of the consolation that Jarle seeks in pop music and political commitments - and in the girls that cross his path. Awarded the prize for Best Nordic Film 2012 at the Gothenburg Festival, “The Orheim Company” sensitively and compassionately depicts a conflict in generations that many members of the cinema audience can relate to, as well as delivering a very authentic 1980s soundtrack and production design. Particularly the main actor Vebjørn Enger gives a convincing performance as the younger persona of the reminiscing protagonist acted by Rolf Kristian Larsen, who looks back on his life after his father's death.
