June 23, 1998: Every street in Norway is empty. An entire nation is holding its breath. On the lawn in Marseille, Kjetil Rekdal puts the ball on the penalty spot. Brazil's goalkeeper Claudio Taffarel jumps calmly at the finish line and looks toward the Norwegian. Through the TV, the voice of reporter Arne Scheie is heard: «Now, Kjetil Rekdal. The most important kick on a football in the history of  Norwegian football ... » 

Only a decade earlier, Norwegian football was on the verge of bankruptcy. What changed us? The documentary Alt for Norge is a film about Egil "Drillo" Olsen, his crew, and the journey they took the Norwegian people on through the 90s. Drillos became symbols of a nation in great change.
