In 1984, a high-ranking Norwegian diplomat named Arne Treholt was arrested for handing over classified state secrets to the KGB. It quickly became the most notorious scandal in Norway�s history, and destroyed Treholt�s reputation as a great patriot. In 2010, Arne Treholt returned to the headlines, this time on screen, when writer/director Thomas Cappelen Malling introduced NORWEGIAN NINJA, a psychedelic-martial arts-Euro-crime story featuring Treholt as the head of a secret force of modern �shadow warriors� entrusted by King Olav to protect Norway.
