It is based on Jon Michelet's 1977 novel by the same name. The film follows three Svalbard-based shabby seamen, played by Helge Jordal, Sverre Anker Ousdal and Hans Ola Sørlie, who discover a Soviet bearing station. They are subsequently targets of Soviet liquidation and American interrogation in an attempt to quiet them and retain the political status quo. The Cold War topics were a critique of the Norwegian policy of allowing a Soviet presence on Svalbard. ## Credits - **Director:** [Ola Solum](https://cinepixo.com/people/ola-solum), [Tristan DeVere Cole](https://cinepixo.com/people/tristan-devere-cole) - **Screenplay:** [Richard Harris](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-harris) - **Original Music Composer:** [Bent Åserud](https://cinepixo.com/people/bent-aserud), [Geir Bøhren](https://cinepixo.com/people/geir-b-hren) - **Producer:** [Dag Alveberg](https://cinepixo.com/people/dag-alveberg) - **Director of Photography:** [Harald Paalgard](https://cinepixo.com/people/harald-paalgard) - **Editor:** [Bjørn Breigutu](https://cinepixo.com/people/bj-rn-breigutu), [Anne-Marie Nørholm](https://cinepixo.com/people/anne-marie-n-rholm), [Yngve Refseth](https://cinepixo.com/people/yngve-refseth) ## Cast - [Hans Ola Sørlie](https://cinepixo.com/people/hans-ola-s-rlie) - [Kjersti Holmen](https://cinepixo.com/people/kjersti-holmen) - [Sverre Anker Ousdal](https://cinepixo.com/people/sverre-anker-ousdal) - [Helge Jordal](https://cinepixo.com/people/helge-jordal) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
