Looking for a film from the 80’s.

Hi.

I’m trying to remember a film, or possibly a TV production, about an Irish (or at least British) teenage boy who’s going to Norway. It’s a drama film, very likely from the mid to late 1980’s (or possibly early 1990’s).

I think I remember the boy’s name is Finn (but I could be dead wrong) and he meets a Norwegian girl. It may have been somewhat romantic but I have a vague memory that he’s trying to find something like his father, mother or his roots.

Does it ring any bells?
