A comedian tries to make a fresh start
En nieu start follows Norwegian comedian Sivert Eimhjellen at a difficult point in his life. With housing and money problems threatening to overwhelm his work, Morten Ramm steps in to help him get both his personal life and career back on track. The series connects the practical demands of starting again with the pressure of preparing a live comedy show.
The opening episode begins with Ramm helping Eimhjellen move and discovering the extent of the problems facing him. The next turns to old conflicts. Those early instalments establish that a professional comeback involves more than developing material for a stage: everyday circumstances and unresolved relationships are part of the same story.
