Description:

Knut Hamsun is Norway's most celebrated writer. A lifelong resentment of the English for their role in the starvation of Norway during World War I fuels his feelings. When Germany occupies Norway on April 9, 1940, he welcomes them, seeing them as protection from Great Britain. He embraces the national socialist ideals but disapproves of the harsh reality – the imprisonment and execution of Norwegians. His wife, Marie, journeys to Germany during the war as a demonstration of solidarity with Knut and his beliefs.
