What happens

Unge viljer (Young Wills) is a Norwegian film from 1943 written and directed by Walter Fyrst. It is about an upper-class girl and a working-class boy that join forces and become members of Nasjonal Samling (NS), Vidkun Quisling's far-right political party before and during World War II. Unge viljer is a "state political" propaganda film that purports to depict the difficult social conditions in Norway in the 1930s that led to the formation of the NS in 1933. This is the only Norwegian film produced during the war with a Nasjonal Samling ideology. The film premiered at the Victoria Cinema in Oslo on February 8, 1943. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
