In this gripping film set during World War II, Norwegian doctor Martin Stensgard struggles to maintain his neutrality amidst the German occupation. His wife, fiercely clinging to an illusion of sophistication, refuses to acknowledge the oppressive presence around them. However, their peaceful existence is threatened by the involvement of their family members in conflicting sides of the resistance.Their daughter, Karen, passionately supports the fighters led by Gunnar Brogge, while their son becomes influenced by his uncle's Nazi sympathies after returning from university. Captain Koenig, the young and fanatically determined German commandant, presents an uneasy balance between rigid adherence to rules and growing fear of local rebellion. This compelling drama unravels as each character is forced to confront their own beliefs and loyalties in a time of uncertainty and turmoil.
