Ida Rothmann

The film is often referred to as a «labor film», because it is one of several film dramas from the 1930s that the Norwegian labor movement supported and which should give the audience an understanding of the labor movement's politics.

An interesting look into 1931, a year of unemployment and misery in the forests of Norway. The movie is important as both film history and social portrayal. We get insight into working conditions class differences between loggers and forest owners. Based on the events of the Julussa conflict the movie depicts early labour organization, unity and strike.
