When fascism sweeps through Germany in the 1930s, the celebrated Norwegian writer and Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun shocks his countrymen by allying himself with Hitler, along with his wife, Marie. They even tour in Germany, hosting public speaking engagements in the country. After the war ends, the couple is vilified in Norway, and ultimately sentenced for crimes against the state.
