Plot
An American bomber is shot down on the Norwegian coast during World War II. The airmen bail out and land at different locations. In spite of the German search for them, the Norwegian resistance picks them up and hides them in the attic of the local church, a center of operations. Things become tense, however, when the hideout is spotted by a notorious collaborator, and soon the protagonist, Hans (Henki Kolstad), has to get the airmen to Sweden.

gollark: I hope this doesn't end up in some sort of dystopian future where laser diodes and other interesting components are only available within highly integrated and expensive/hard to modify systems.
gollark: It's some expensive thing which absorbs most light.
gollark: It probably could be seen as some attempt at evilness, even if it *probably* won't actually damage anything.
