Colossus 1993

Synopsis

Brage, a young man from distant and cold Norway is exactly as the world in which he was raised: strong, honest and holding onto the simple system of values. As a child he suffered from polio and was confined to wheelchair, but thanks to his strong willpower he managed to overcame his disability. Now he lives in a wooden hut lost somewhere in the mountains. His only neighbors are Liv Bjornehiet and her father. The boy falls in love with a delicate, fragile, lovely girl and she reciprocates his intense feelings. However, before marrying the girl, he wants to put his feelings to the test. Urged by his stepbrother Bentein, the boy signs as a seaman on a ship going on a one-year cruise. On the way back to Norway, Brage and Bentein disembark in Hamburg. There they visit St. Paula\'s red light district, where they get into a fight with German skinheads. Brage accidentally kills one of the attackers and gets arrested.
Made in the Polish-Norwegian co-production Witold Leszczyński\'s film is an adaptation of a novel by Finn Alnaes.
