Elling

Simon Bent

Elling and his roommate, the uncouth, reluctant virgin Kjell Bjarne, are the "Odd Couple" of Oslo: a pair of confused souls taking their first steps in the outside world after years of isolated, institutional life. Given a flat in the city by social services, they must re-assimilate themselves into society or face a return to the asylum.
