Filmed on location in Oslo, it was the first movie produced as a cooperative effort among the three Scandinavian countries. The film was nominated for the Palme D'Or and won the Bodil Award for Best Danish Film in 1967. For his leading role, Oscarsson won best actor awards at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival, 1967 Bodil Awards and the USA's National Society of Film Critics award for best actor in 1968.

Plot

In 1890 Christiania (Olso), an impoverished and lonely writer named Pontus (Per Oscarsson) comes to the city from the country. A newspaper editor (Henki Kolstad) is waiting to publish an article by Pontus, but Pontus is too proud to accept an advance. When he is unable to pay his rent, the landlady (Else Heiberg) tosses him out. Hunger soon overwhelms Pontus and he drifts between hallucination and reality while struggling to survive. He suffers humiliations which lead him to the edge of insanity. One hallucination revolves around aYlajali (Gunnel Lindblom), a refined woman he has met on the street. Despite their mutual advances, nothing ever evolves for them. On a sudden impulse, Pontus hires on with the crew of a ship leaving the city.
