Norwegian filmmaker Morten Tyldum makes his directorial debut with the romantic comedy drama Buddy about a group of twentysomethings living in Oslo. Pals Kristoffer (Nicolai Cleve Broch) and Geir (Aksel Hennie) share a downtown apartment with the web designer Stig Inge (Anders Baasmo Christiansen). While Kristoffer and Geir enjoy videotaping their lives for fun, Stig prefers to stay inside the apartment hidden from the rest of the world. After Kristoffer breaks up with his girlfriend Elizabeth (Janne Formoe), he and Geir are hired at a local television station for a reality show called "Kristoffer's Video Diary." The show shakes up their previously ordinary lives and ignites a romance involving their new roommate Henriette (Pia Tjelta). Buddy won the audience award at the 2003 Karlovy Vary Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

In this offbeat comedy, 25-year-old Pia (Pia Tjelta) left her home in Norway to try her luck at a new career in London, but has come home after six months away to visit her family for the holidays. She soon discovers things are a good bit different since she left; her former boyfriend Kristoffer (Kristoffer Joner) has disappeared, and her friends don't seem to be doing especially well -- among them a guitar player whose record deal has fallen through and a hip-hop artist who thinks he's run out of things to rap about. Pia wants to give her relationship with Kristoffer one more chance, but first she has to figure out where he's gone. Mongoland was the first feature from writer and director Arild Ostin Ommundsen. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
