Hilarious, tragic, and bitingly real
For years in the nichè sport that is Norway s rugby league, Oslo s The Caps have been the national champions. The team has been held together by the patience and charisma of their Skipper, Iefeta Fek Te'o. But the demand of work and a young family mean that Fek, as his wife puts it, doesn't have time 'to father these man-children'. Thankfully Fek has the perfect replacement: Joseph Hepa Coyle, the new arrival, who has raised the Trondheim Wolverines from obscurity into a national force.
But Oslo isn't Trondheim, and chaos, resentment and apathy threaten to consume the colourful cast of players. Like all great comedies Forever Offside feels all too real, written with a fresh self-deprecating humour that is not afraid to probe the darker side of humanity.
