Award-winning director Hans Petter Moland brings Knut Hamsun’s timeless masterpiece Markens grøde to the big screen, starring Herbert Nordrum (“Verdens verste menneske”) and Asta Kamma August (“Hendelser ved Vann”). It is late autumn. Isak struggles to survive in the wilderness. One day, Inger appears over the mountains. Love grows out of an encounter born of hardship.
