It is typically Norwegian to be good, but at the same time we hate Norwegians who think they are something. The license inspector meets famous people who have experienced success and adversity. Liv Ullmann, Madcon, Sondre Lerche, Jenny Skavlan and Idar Vollvik tell why failure is the key to success. (2:6)

Things never feel so strong as when you're a teenager. The license inspector meets 17-year-olds in 1972 and 17-year-olds today to talk about peer pressure, body pressure and performance anxiety. A famous comedian is confronted with his past, and you learn what youth of all times have in common.

The Norwegian man should be hard and soft, vain and masculine, horny and sensitive. The license inspector looks at over 50 years of confusion, football and phallus. The man is more than a mountain in Romsdalen.

Hand in hand in potty land! The license inspector digs deep into the Norwegian folk soul. How has being Norwegian changed? How did the small village with the big dreams fare? And what happened to the only child in Orten?

The license inspector looks back and relives dreams of the future. Once we thought the world would be full of flying cars and beef pills. Instead we got spelt bread and bike paths. Where did the future come from?
