What happens

Himmel og helvete (Heaven and Hell) is a 1969 Norwegian propaganda film about illegal drugs. It was directed by Øyvind Vennerød with a screenplay by Vennerød and Victor Borg. The film was poorly received by the critics, but it nonetheless became one of the highest-grossing theater films in Norway in 1969. Lillebjørn Nilsen and Sigrid Huun played the main characters Arne and Eva. The leading actor, Lillebjørn Nilsen, later apologized and publicly distanced himself from the movie.
