Quisling - The Final Days
En psykologisk og klaustrofobisk kamp om sannhet og løgn, tro og tvil.
Five years of occupation end on May 8, 1945. The nation's reconstruction can begin, but first, the final chapter must be written. In a dark cell at Akershus Fortress sits the man who committed the greatest betrayal of all: Vidkun Quisling. Now, he will be held accountable for his actions and the atrocities brought about by Nazi ideology. But first, he will meet with chaplain and priest Peder Olsen. Can the priest, himself scarred by the brutality of war, help the man who was on a first-name basis with Hitler find peace of mind? Is the traitor, with grandiose thoughts about himself and his Nazi mission, capable of remorse?
