Freske fraspark (Fresh Push-Offs) is a Norwegian comedy film from 1963 directed by Bjørn Breigutu. The script was written by Kjell Aukrust and Breigutu.[1][2][3] The story was previously arranged for stage for the Norwegian Theater in Oslo as the play Dobbeltsats og freske fraspark (Double Takeoff and Fresh Push-Offs),[4] which was based on scenes from Aukrust's books Simen and Bror min, published in 1958 and 1960.[5]
Filming of Freske fraspark took place in Alvdal, Tolga, and Vingelen. The film was very poorly received by the reviewer at Verdens Gang, who gave it one star out of six.[6]
Plot
An old village dispute between Alvdal and Tynset has flared up again in the winter of 1936. The reason is that Per Sætermyrmoen has won the Holmenkollen 50 km cross-country ski race, and both villages would like to claim him as one of their own and celebrate the skier upon his return home.
