What happens

King Curling (also King of Curling, Curling King; Norwegian: Kong Curling) is a 2011 Norwegian sports comedy film directed by Ole Endresen. Atle Antonsen stars as skip Truls Paulsen, a former curling champion now medicated for his dangerously obsessive behavior, who has to reunite his team 10 years after they disbanded in order to help his mentor Gordon get lifesaving medical treatment. The name Truls Paulsen is a pun on Pål Trulsen, Olympic champion in curling. The curling scenes were shot in Håkons Hall, Lillehammer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
