The first screening of Hoppa högst at a theater was in Sergels torg, Stockholm on 23 March 1989.

[2] Waldemar Berghendal produced Hoppa högst, and Björn Isfält directed the music.

It was distributed in Norway as Hvem kan hoppe høyest (English: Who can jump the highest).

[4] The film is about two rival boys, Albin (Markus Åström) and Stig (Ramses Ericstam), whose mothers (Lena T. Hansson and Suzanne Reuter, respectively) have them compete against each other throughout their childhood.

One day, as they compete for who dares to jump from the roof of a barn, both boys break a leg and end up at the hospital.
