Faneflukt (Desertion) is a Norwegian film from 1975. It was directed by Eldar Einarson, who also wrote the screenplay.[1][2][3]

Plot

[edit]

In 1941, the young kitchen maid Liv meets the German non-commissioned officer Franz while she is working in the non-commissioned officer's mess. This is a relationship that their environment, and especially Liv's father, cannot accept, and they decide to flee to Sweden. What Liv does not know is that Franz is already married in Germany.[4]

The film has a different perspective on the German occupation of Norway than Norwegian war films had up until then, and is one of the early examples of an alternative war narrative.
