What Is The Bus About?
The premise of The Bus without spoilers.
Thorvald operates a rural Norwegian bus line in a 1923‑model vehicle called ‘Gamla.’ He routinely makes extra stops, solving minor troubles for passengers and often forgetting to collect fares because of his generosity. Meanwhile, a grumpy county official and a proposal from an outside bus firm bring modern pressures to his solitary route.
