In 1890, Pontus, the starving writer, wanders the streets of Christiania, in search of love and a chance to get his work published.

All the time he manages to maintain human dignity and pride.
“Perhaps the last reviewer simply didnu0026#39;t get this deep emotional film. This won top awards at Cannes. Simply a great piece of art, with incredible acting, beautifully detailed direction, and glorious photography. Shame on shallow reviewers who need to school themselves in the fine art of filmmaking.”
