Wikipedia article
'Alt For Egil' is a 2004 Norwegian musical film directed by Tore Rygh, starring Kristoffer Joner and Trond Hvik. Egil Hjelmeland (Joner) is a pizza delivery driver who decides to teach his best friend Jan-Ove Tofte (Hvik), who is mentally retarded, how to drive the delivery car. The title is a play on 'Alt for Norge' (Norwegian: All for Norway) which is a patriotic Norwegian motto dating to World War II.
