ABBA: Against the Odds plot
The Eurovision Song Contest was won fifty years ago by a Swedish band that the world would hear a lot from: ABBA. The film is not exclusively a success story, but a documentary about a group that grows into a phenomenon against the spirit of the times and the taste of the music press. A band that tries to break through in the United States at the expense of personal suffering. The film mainly covers the period between the albums Waterloo (1974) and Super Trouper (1980). Never-before-seen images, photos and interviews are included in the documentary.
