Jord Brookern / Landsmenn (Norway): Terrorists become cheesemakers
Black comedies from Norway are becoming one of the most exportable genres, taken from the standard «Nordic Noir». Examples such as ‘Hellford’, ‘Match’ Or ‘Norman’ Recently aside “Porn” This trend is perfectly illustrated, but the absolute queen of the format is screenwriter Anne Bjørnstad, the creator of gemstones that ‘Lillyhammer’ Y ‘Previously’His last gem in that genre is ‘Earth Brookern’ which was just released.
Björnstad’s creations are characterized by the hunt for hostile groups and their confrontation with massive cultural conflicts, such as Lily Hummer (Lily Hummer), temporary refugees from different eras, or the Muslim terrorist cell that prepares and attacks the center of the Jordzbrooker production Rural Agricultural Land below.
Its most important virtue is to be able to use a serious theme as a terrorist threat with enormous skill, often led by the cultural clash of the Muslim quartet in the middle of the Telemark farm. In addition to religious, tasty with dominant political correctness and its contradictions.

Plot: Marwan is a young Muslim consultant who, after his partner’s death, arrested his five-year-old daughter Kiki along with the girl’s parents in a legal battle. In desperation, he decides to kidnap his daughter and he escapes from Oslo with his friend Adil and other accomplices who will spend several weeks on a farm in Telemark in central Norway.
What Marwan did not know was that this small group of three was actually a terrorist group that wanted to use the farm and the items found there to make homemade equipment.
Needless to say, with the official trailer for the premiere show on the Norwegian public channel, the arrival of four Muslims with a girl on the lonely farm raises suspicions that some locals are starting to monitor the newcomers themselves.
The Muslim Quartet is different, the leader of the Khabib group (Arven Bala. Left), the man responsible for maintaining and distributing the cell’s functions, but despite his apparent rigidity, he succumbs to the beauty of children. Kiki
Next to him, Tariq (Jonas Strand Grovely, Der) converted to pure Norwegian Islam, and although his specialty was chemistry, he did well with the saying that ‘there is no worse faith than the converts’. The pump is based on the farm that belongs to your uncle.
The group was completed by a friend of Adil (Ayaz Hussain) Marwan, who was a regular supporter of the group leader without any initiative and his main concern was to take care of his twenty younger sister Anisa (the big Heena Zaidi), so he ended up leaving. Look for her in Oslo to bring her to the farm.
The perfect main character and the first inspiration for ideas from the Norwegian actress Nader Khadimi (his fictional daughter Erica Mamelund in the picture below) played Marwan and is credited with his major roles in ‘Hymnbain’ and ‘Biforiners’.
Despite being a second- and third-generation Norwegian, the actor wanted to reflect the double standards that Norwegian society has towards people of different races, despite a growing reluctance in some social issues.
The idea fell in love with Anne Bjørnstadt, who is not hesitant to be with Albanian director Izar Aliou in the creative team and develop the entire series in the show of black comedies, but there were serious allegations of racial and social discrimination. By people of Muslim origin in Norway.
To mark this point, they did not hesitate to let members of the group have different origins and origins, move from Norwegian to Iranian Marwan, pass through Pakistanis and Syrians, and offer different versions of Islam according to their personal culture. , They continued to promote the premiere.
‘Jordbrookern’ is a high-flying black comedy, full of surprising and very funny moments that dramatizes this terrorist threat in the context of films such as ‘Fay de Etarros’ or ‘Four Lions’. The innocence of the five-year-old girl who changed the plans of the members of the group.
To reinforce the humorous effect based on the contrasts between what they say with creativity and what they think, his style is so fantastic with so many moments where the characters’ direct reactions to the camera merge with the situation they are in. Thank you for that resource.
I know that the series has already been bought for broadcast in Spain, where it will premiere on March 1 with the international name ‘Countrymen’, so I’ll give you a trailer for the screening in Cannes,
