Un escritor anónimo malvive por las calles de Kristiania (antiguo nombre del Oslo actual) intentando vender sus escritos a las revistas. Adaptación de la magna novela del noruego Knut Hamsun, Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1920.
A film about a doctor in a small idyllic town. He's an honest man who wants his patients best, but fewer and fewer visitors comes to his practice and that frustrates the doctor. A 'quack doctor' is taking his business.
