If you're into scrappy indie music docs and want to see six Norwegian women turn political passion into art, **watch it tonight**—this has all the makings of a charming underdog story about friendship and creative ambition. Fair warning: it's niche (political folk-pop isn't for everyone), but that's exactly why it'll reward the right viewer.

Plot

Six ladies form the band Sliteneliten in Oslo in the winter of 2018. The project becomes fertile ground for friendship, politics and a seemingly hair-raising dream of making a living from music. They describe themselves as a political telegram decorated with flute, guitars, fiddle, drums and bass.
