Pushwagner (2011)

Documentary about the most famous painter in Norway.

Behind the success of Hariton Pushwagner we find a dramatic story about a son of a wealthy family who became homeless, only to end up as a celebrated artist. Pushwagner himself says, "It's not true but it's a good story". Against this backdrop, the film reflects on what the reality of Pushwagner is, both as an artist and a human being.
