Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Side om side is NRK's longest-running modern sitcom, and this special captures Norway's peculiar tradition of 'dugnad'—compulsory community work—twisted into competitive holiday suffering.
The entire special was shot in a real Oslo neighborhood in July, with artificial snow and actors visibly sweating under winter coats.
