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.
