a-ha: The Movie (2021)

yes, there's an a-ha a-ha moment - sad, but true

It follows the band on tour, telling the full story of how three young men followed their impossible dream of becoming Norwegian pop stars. When Take On Me reached number 1 on Billboard in the US in 1985 the dream came true. Or did it?
