Arne Skouen - en mann for sin tid

A 4 year-old boy stands in awe of a 1,000 year-old Viking boat in a small Norwegian museum and finds within its silent grace an impressionistic sweep of picture and music revealing the rich spirit of Norway and its people. (This is the movie that was shown after the Maelstrom Ride in Epcot Center)

I Faresonen is a combination of a documentary and fictional approach to the problem of alcoholism -- or alcohol dependency. Tackling a problem common to other Nordic countries as well, director Bjoern Breigutu has focused on the life of sailors, among others, and how alcohol is used or abused in that sector of the population. This was the Norwegian entry at the 1961 Berlin Film Festival.

Arve Nor is exposed to a boat accident alone on the sea, taking a settlement with his own identity in his last moment on earth.

We follow the TV personality "the giant" Erik Bye in several project the three last years of his life. Even if he got sick the latter months of is life, his thoughts was very much alive.
