About Struggle for Life
The struggle for existence is about the linguist Tomasz Novak (28) traveling from Warsaw to Norway to collect what he believes is a quick buck from a father he has never met. His project is proving to take time and along the way he becomes ever more integrated in the Norwegian society, represented by a privileged and well-meaning group of citizens, which in turn gives us a picture of the current Norwegian life.
Directed by Erlend Loe, Per Schreiner, Bjørn Olaf Johannessen, Struggle for Life leans on a strong ensemble — Bartek Kaminski, Mads Ousdal, Øystein Røger — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2014.
