Boys from the Streets
Directed by Ulf Greber, Arne Skouen
Produced by Norsk Film
A socially conscious portrait of working-class youth struggling against poverty and systemic hardship in 1920s Oslo, grounded in friendship and the persistence of hope amid bleakness.
The movie takes place on Oslo's east side sometime during the twenties. It depicts the workers' environment by traditional elements like unemployment, strike, poverty, alcoholism, absent fathers, wise and tired mothers, the dream of a better life and the friendship between the boys in the street.
