Sotto Zero may well be the best-ever Italian film made in Norway (if you know of another one, let us know). Jerry Cala plays an Italian laborer who takes a job on a Norwegian oil rig. He is unprepared for the cold weather, and has a bit of difficulty communicating with his co-workers--well, more than a little, since he knows not one word of their language. But the money is good, and things get better when another Italian joins the crew and befriends Our Hero. The US title for this made-for-Italian-TV film is Below Zero.
