In the mid-1970s, while Hollywood was busy with Jaws and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a small, raw, and deeply authentic Danish film slipped into cinemas. Directed by Erik Balling—famous for the Olsen Gang series—and Peter Refn (father of Nicolas Winding Refn), La' Os Være (translating to Let Us Be or Leave Us Alone) captured the restless energy of Danish youth on the verge of adulthood.

In 1975, NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) aired a documentary-drama called "Veien til Laos" (The Road to Laos) about Norwegian missionaries in Southeast Asia. A home taper might have abbreviated the title on a VHS label as "La'os" (Laos), then added "være" (to be) from a separate recording. The resulting hybrid title "La'os Være" would be meaningless but memorable.
