What happens

Savnet siden mandag (Missing since Monday) is a Norwegian feature film from 1955 directed by Sigval Maartmann-Moe and Tancred Ibsen. The screenplay was written by Maartmann-Moe, Ibsen, and Axel Kielland. Peter Lindgren and Ivar Svendsen star as the Swede and the missing 17-year-old. Parts of the footage are from the 1950 film To mistenkelige personer, which was banned by the Norwegian Supreme Court in 1952. The ban was upheld until 2005. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
