A movie loosely based on a strike in the community of Sauda, Norway 2. June 1970. The strike lasted for five weeks, and was on the news almost every day.

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.

Based on the 1931 novel To levende og en død by Sigurd Christiansen. A post office worker is left wrestling with his conscience following a robbery at his workplace.

An engaged mechanic begins a tempestuous affair with a rich married woman.
