The young doctor is played by Anne-Lise Tangstad. Two other important roles are played by Lalla Carlsen as Maren the housekeeper and Joachim Holst-Jensen as a composer and the young doctor's uncle. Together they manage to keep the young refugees hidden for a few nerve-wracking weeks before they can be sent across the border to Sweden and safety. Something that helped give the film more realism were the two Germans that portrayed SS officers. The director, Sigval Maartmann-Moe, had himself experienced SS men at uncomfortably close range, and he believed that Germans were needed to portray this type. He was able to "borrow"
Günther Hüttmann and Ottakar Panning from the German theater and, according to Maartmann-Moe, this German–Norwegian collaboration worked perfectly. •
