A touching coming-of-age film about Amanda and Lars, whose unusual friendship challenges them. A film about courage, belonging, and the right to be oneself. Ideal for school classes from age 10.
As part of the Children's Rights Film Days 2026, the Norwegian feature film "Lars is LOL" will be shown, which addresses friendship, inclusion, and the pressure to belong. After the summer break, Amanda is supposed to support the new classmate Lars, who has Down syndrome, as a "special buddy." Initially, she fears standing out in class because of him, but the two develop a close friendship. To avoid being humiliated in front of her crush Adam, Amanda keeps this relationship a secret and leads a stressful double life, which ultimately leads to betrayal.
The film is based on the book by Iben Akerlie and was directed by Eirik Sæter Stordahl. With a runtime of 89 minutes, it is aimed at an audience aged 10 and up. The main roles are played by Lilly Winger Schmidt and Adrian Øverjordet Vestnes.
