Rose Hammer sings Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves

Along the streets of the "grey-grey" city of Oslo, the scent of turmoil fills the air. Despite Norway’s neutrality during the First World War it is clear from steadily increasing class divisions that there are always those who benefit and those who suffer. This day, the twenty-eighth of March 1918, would indicate a changing of tides within The Norwegian Labour Party. Mentalities were shifting and a majority vote that would be reached would hurdle the party into a process of radicalisation. The women of the party had reached a similar crossroads at their yearly congress some months prior. Yet had managed to maintain a rather moderate position contrary to the brewing opposition they were about to confront.

Ingeborg Køber, a naïve 23-year old newlywed has travelled from her woodboard kingdom Fredrikstad to Christiania to see the famous actress Johanne Dybwad perform Medea at The National Theatre in Christiania. (...) Køber is curious and sensitive, but not a scholarly woman. She's been coined «sweet» but «stupid» by her own patriarch. She's led a sheltered life – in the shadow of her brothers Ludvig and Ragnar who are her parent's favourite children. Køber was entirely unprepared for the shock that is Johanne Dybwad's Medea.

Vår Frelsers gravlund, a cemetery in the capital city of Norway, mid-November 1918. Under cloudy, gray skies, fallen leaves are covering the ground. The temperature is slightly above 0 degrees, and there's a hint of rain in the air. Edvard Munch, a famous and notoriously reclusive painter, aged 54, walks slowly among the graves. He is dressed in a thick overcoat with a wide-brimmed hat pulled down over his eyes. Every once in a while, he pauses to read the stones. Deep in thought, he doesn't notice that another person is approaching him from behind. It is Munch's rival colleague, the 49-year old sculptor Gustav Vigeland, dressed only in a buttoned down shirt. Vigeland carries a walking stick, but does not use it for support. Rather, he spins it around like a baton.

Oslo, The City of Free Love
We are in Akersveien, right in front of the Oslo katolske bispedømme, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oslo. Casually strolling in the street, a group of important gentlemen exchange on art and politics, oblivious of The Plague that is ravaging the city, the Spanish Flu. These gentlemen, Gustav Vigeland, Edvard Munch, Martin Tranmæl and Johan Scharffenberg, are about to be hammered by the bishop of Norway, Luxemburger Johannes Olav Fallize, for their decadent lifestyle.

Characters: Gustav Vigeland, sculptor; Edvard Munch, painter; Martin Tranmæl, socialist leader; Johan Scharffenberg, racist, medical doctor, psychiatrist, nationalist, lover of all ancient Greek practices - except drinking; and Johannes Olav Fallize, born in Luxemburg, and catholic bishop of Norway.
