Documentary film Magaluf
(Mågaluf)


Four young Norwegian men go on their life’s adventure to Magaluf - the mother of all party places.

Mågaluf is not a reality show. It is a poetic and observational coming-of-age-documentary about young men and their friendship during a trip to the notorious party town of Magaluf. 

We get to know the four main characters of the film in their daily life in Svelvik, a small town in Norway. They are young hard workers with a “living for the weekend”-mindset. They are curious, adventurous and bored. This summer Magaluf is waiting for them. 

Through them we discover why this place is such a mythical travel destination.
