Write a short summary of what happens in the film

We see a guy, Eric, paying his paper bills and having to deal with the frustration of all those digits. As he gets more and more annoyed, his wife calls out for him. When she doesn’t get an answer she decides to check up on him, only to discover that he has gotten a case of the “frazzle”. The films ends with the line: avoid getting the frazzle. Pay your bills with Vipps.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

In Norway we have an expression called getting fnatt (best translated into to become frazzled), which means to go slightly crazy with annoyance. Another thing we have in Norway are extremely long customer identification numbers (KID) on our invoices. So when mobile banking service, Vipps, launched a new service which allow Norwegians to pay their bills through Vipps, we found that the one thing people really liked was the end of punching in all those long numbers.
