Mørketid

Times of Darkness is feature-length documentary for the cinema and for television. It depicts the conditions under which women lived in Norway during the Second World War, and the contribution made by them; womens everyday encounters with the German war machine and their opposition to it, their imprisonment, torture and deportation to a foreign country. The film mixes three modes: interviews with ten women who participated in the resistance, archive material, and dramatisation of a number of wartime episodes. The result is a collective portrait of women fighting against injustice, brutality and oppression. (Norsk Filminstitutt)
