June 23, 1998: The streets of all Norway's cities are empty. An entire nation holds its breath. On the grass pitch in Marseille, Kjetil Rekdal puts the ball on the penalty mark. Brazil's goalkeeper Claudio Taffarel jumps calmly on the goal line and looks towards the Norwegian. Arne Scheie's voice is heard through the TV: "Now, Kjetil Rekdal. The most important kick on a soccer ball in the history of the Norwegian Football Association..."

Just a decade earlier, Norwegian football was on the brink of bankruptcy. What was it that changed us?

The Fotball Professor (Alt for Norge) is the movie about Egil "Drillo" Olsen, his crew and the journey they took the Norwegian people on through the 90s. The Drillos became symbols of a nation in great change. Through personal footage and largely new video archives, this film takes you into the players' bus, the dressing room and inside the adventure you've only seen from the stands or in front of the TV.
