The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Norwegian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1957: an older pace and style.

The movie takes place during World War II and depicts the true story of Jan Baalsruds amazing escape from the German army from the coast of Northern Norway and across the border to the neutral country Sweden.
