A mediados del siglo XX, se produjo un fenómeno único. Un desgarbado sueco, a punto de cumplir cuarenta años, comenzó un período de producción cinematográfica sin precedentes. Entre 1957 y 1963, filmó algunos de los más grandes clásicos de la historia del cine, produjo varias creaciones teatrales para las tablas y la radio, y dirigió seis películas para televisión. En el mundo del cine, Ingmar Bergman es un personaje único e inimitable.

Renowned journalist Torgny Segerstedt declares war against Hitler as he criticizes Swedish politicians who tried to look away from the tyranny of the Nazis with the good excuse of “neutralism”. His only weapon is his pen and his life is full of gossip such as an affair with his boss’ wife, a love scandal with a secretary younger than his daughter, and the suicide of his wife. However, he continues to fight a one man battle against Hitler and the Nazi regime until his death, throwing the question “Can one person really change history?” to the audience.

Veinticinco cineastas, uno por cada estado de la Unión Europea, realizaron una película sobre sus respectivos países. Todas tenían el mismo presupuesto, debían estar ambientadas en el presente o en un futuro inmediato y durar cinco minutos. No había otras limitaciones, de modo que los autores tenían plena libertad para expresarse. Entre los directores figuran tanto nombres consagrados como voces nuevas dentro del panorama cinematográfico. Cada corto tiene su propia identidad, por lo que es posible establecer comparaciones fascinantes; pero, además, juntos ofrecen una imagen global de la Comunidad Europea a través de la fusión de esas distintas visiones conceptuales y creativas.

Knut Hamsun (1859-1952), un admirado escritor noruego, que consiguió el premio Nobel en 1920, era considerado un héroe en su país. Sin embargo, tras el estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la invasión de Noruega por los nazis, Hamsun apoyó a Hitler e incluso mantuvo un encuentro con él. Desde entonces se le consideró un traidor a su patria y, terminada la guerra, fue desposeido de sus bienes. También su vida matrimonial con Marie (Ghita Norby), una escritora de cuentos infantiles, fue conflictiva. Tras su muerte, su obra cayó en el olvido hasta tal punto que no hay en toda Noruega una sola calle o plaza con su nombre.
