Plot

In 1941, the young kitchen maid Liv meets the German non-commissioned officer Franz while she is working in the non-commissioned officer's mess. This is a relationship that their environment, and especially Liv's father, cannot accept, and they decide to flee to Sweden. What Liv does not know is that Franz is already married in Germany.{{cite web |title=Faneflukt |url=https://www.nb.no/filmografi/show?id=795672 |website=Norsk filmografi |publisher=Nasjonalbiblioteket |access-date=June 29, 2023}}

The film has a different perspective on the German occupation of Norway than Norwegian war films had up until then, and is one of the early examples of an alternative war narrative.
