Gullungene: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

In the midst of the debate about late Norwegian children, tiger mothers and curling parents, the reality series "Gullungene" comes sailing like a very well-played curling stone.

TVNorge has gathered six young people between the ages of 18 and 25, apparently according to the criterion of "the country's most undesirable youth". They expect their parents to do absolutely everything for them, without even contributing to it.

In the series, the gang moves together in a community they themselves have to work in a practical and economical way, and in each program, they get different job assignments to complete to make money for the household.

Not quite unexpectedly, this quickly presents challenges. Not to mention problems. Shopping for food on a tight budget is not easy when some people are allergic to cheap brands.

After still having bought low-cost tacomiks and had to choose between lager or bedding, the traumatic experience is summed up as follows: "It must be quite damn to be poor. Now we really got to know it".
