Reputed to be the first feature produced in Norway and based on the
wildly popular novel of 1917 for which the author, Knut Hamsun, was
awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1920. The saga of a brave
pioneer who conquers the wilderness, builds a home, and eventually
sees the area develop into a thriving community. 67 Minutes |
