One of the more disillusioning aspects of the Golden Age of Content is the way Netflix repurposes intellectual property and remakes films for different markets.

Spanish films get almost pointless Mexican or Argentine remakes, and vice versa. And it all comes home to roost when they share these Around the World with Netflix variations on the same platform — North American Netflix, for instance — at the same time.

Right now, you can choose between the new Norwegian (dubbed or subtitled) rom-com “På villspor” (“The Wrong Track”) or the original Swedish film, “Ur spår (“Off the Rails”).

Not sure why the Norwegians would remake a Swedish skiing comedy that came out just a couple of years back, but that’s Netflix for you. They’re different, with a lot of charm of the first version of this story about finding purpose via the Scandinavian version of a winter marathon — a long cross-country ski race — wrung out of the Norwegian version.

But with its rural scenery and Nordic Olympic (Lillehammer and environs) locations, “Wrong Track” can claim the edge in that regard.

The set-up — a screwup, “never finishes anything” single mom who quits jobs and bungles mothering enough that she’s about to lose custody — is coerced into taking up cross country skiing by her seemingly-has-it-all-together older brother.

As Emilie (Ada Eide) struggles with the training and the reckoning this take-stock quest of skiing The Birken imposes on her life, will she finally get purpose and maybe find love along the way? As we learn that focused, motivated, Volvo driving yuppie brother Gjermond (Trond Fausa) has his own struggles — with a marriage (Marie Blokhus plays Silje) suffering from their inability to procreate, what will this “test” teach him?

One of the cutest elements of the original film, how odd it is for a Scandivanian to not know even the basics of skiing, is missed here.

The sex and romance elements are more abrupt, perfunctory and charmless in this take. But they go for the same upbeat, heartwarming feel in the finale, which plays about the same.

I’d suggest you skip “Wrong Track” and watch the Swedish original, since you sure as shooting don’t want to sit through two and the Norwegian “Tracks” feels more clumsily manipulative.

But both flirt with that “watchable” threshold thanks to scenery, engaging actors and people who have learned to do more than just put up with having too much snow for their own good.
