Plot
editThe young student Steffen Berg has difficulty adapting to society's laws and rules. After interrupting his medical studies, he starts working in a shop to support his family together with his brother Jørgen and his sister Gerda, and to keep his mother from moving to a retirement home. One of Steffen's friends is going to America with his wife and needs money. Steffen takes 500 kroner from the store's cash register. The next day there is an audit, and Steffen's theft is discovered. His brother pays back the money in exchange for the store dropping the charges.
Steffen starts working in a greenhouse, and in the evenings he studies art history. A paper he writes about the Parthenon is well received. Steffen decided to continue his studies. His past, however, makes it impossible for him to receive a scholarship and, after a conflict with his brother, he wanders the streets of Oslo. When Steffen passes Henrik Storm's office, he hears a shot fired and sees a man leaving the place in a car. Some time later, Steffen saves a little girl from being run over by a car. The girl's parents are very grateful and, when they hear that he is unemployed, they offer him a job as a gardener.
At his new employer's, Steffen recognizes a man from Storm's office named Konrad. In the newspapers he reads that Storm has been murdered. Steffen wants to go to the police, but he changes his mind at the last minute after being persuaded by Konrad's wife Marit. Marit is much younger than her husband, and she is attracted to the young Steffen. Steffen also learns that Storm was attracted to Marit and that Konrad killed him out of jealousy.
One night Konrad unexpectedly finds Steffen and Marit together. He later takes Steffen on a trip to the mountains. It soon becomes clear to Steffen that Konrad intends to kill him. Steffen jerks the steering wheel of the car they are driving, and the vehicle drives off the road. Konrad dies and Steffen survives.[5]
