'Andreaskorset' (literally Andrew's Cross, released in English as 'The Crossing') is a Norwegian erotic thriller film that premiered in 2004. The film received lukewarm reviews, and it is perhaps best remembered as one of 2004's least viewed films. Just over 3,000 people watched the film, and by the end of the year all the magazines and newspapers in Norway named the film "the biggest flop of the year." This is also connected with the fact that well-known names such as Martin Asphaug and Eirik Ildahl were associated with the project.

The film is about Andreas (played by Trond Fausa Aurvaag), a man in his early 30s that is paralyzed from the waist down after a car accident. His wife, Liv (Stine Varvin), leaves him, and he is trapped in his own house until Wagner (Svante Martin), a Finn from the Assistive Technology Center, takes Andreas under his wing. Liv returns, but she feels attracted to the Wagner while Andreas in turn feels neglected and overlooked in his disabled life.
