100 is offered. 100 is offered. Who bids higher?

- 120 I . - 120 is offered. 120 first...

120 second time...120 third time. Sold to the last bidder.

From pets to something completely different.

The boy here is Swedish, from Malmberget.

The father died in a mining accident.

The mother also has a young daughter, but cannot support the family.

Therefore she sent the boy away. Are there any bids?

Listen up, guys. He might look a little thin,

but I can guarantee that he is a good worker.

He is healthy and fast. Bring a message.

Now the young man has found himself a new home with the big farmer himself in Sjønstå.

He must pay 160 special dalers.

- What's your name? - Konrad Nilsson.

- Konrad, my son. - Konrad, my dear son.

I hope you understand how much it hurt to send you to Norway.

- We have to get up here. - On forgiveness, Konrad.

You should know that it allowed me to save your little sister.

Yes. So this is your first job, Konrad.

The men will probably train you. Get started.

Your sister prays to God to see her beloved brother again.

I comfort her that you are probably in good health,

and that one day we will meet again.

My hope has been that me and your sister could travel to Norway.

But since we have no money,

I spend all my time making sure we get enough food to survive.

Now I close my short letter by saying that my most hearty hope and faith is,

that if we do not meet here on earth again, we can gather in the kingdom of heaven.

Goodbye for this time.

Don't forget to write to me soon.

Your mother, Anna Nilsson.

Here you go.

That was it with the salary.

- The other boys get Iøn. - Yes. They have a home. You do not have that.

You get food and a bed, that's your Iøn.

But now I am 16 years old. I must have money.

I own your labor until you come of age. It's five years.

In the meantime, you won't earn a dime. That's the way it is. It cannot be changed.

WARNING NO WORK FOR OUTcasts

PRIVATE PROPERTY ACCESS ONLY WITH PERMISSION FROM THE COMPANY

Excuse me.

- Do you have a job for me? - A job?

I'm used to hard work.

Granbergl. Here is a new miner. Step inside.

- What will you? - I would like to have a job.

I am willing to do anything.

- Do you have work experience? - Yes.

Freight and work at Sjønstå farm.

- Stay home? - For six years.

- And recommendations? - I have no recommendations. I ran away.

- Where in Sweden are you from? - The ore mountain.

- I came to Sjønstå when I was ten. - To Sjønstå as a ten-year-old.

Now I understand.

Here we smelt the ore.

There is the sewing room.

We're going around here.

- At the house. - And?

- It's the new apprentice. - Oh well.

- Use him for anything. - Just help August.

Make sure he learns all about ore. Konrad...

At the start, you will receive an apprentice salary. Gradually, you can earn Iøn as an adult.

- Olof Wenström, I suppose? - Yes. Director Corneliussen?

- Did you have a pleasant trip? - Yes. Direct from Michigan in America.

A room has been set up and lunch is waiting.

Lunch? I would like to start working. With permission.

Of course.

Wages eat away at profits, but they must remain high.

Partly to get the best workers, and not least to get them to stay.

So we have eight mines scattered all over Sulis. Large distances.

- How close is the communication between them? - Very limited, fortunately.

Each mine is like its own community. The risk of organization is small.

We have some quite rebellious people here.

- Which mine produces the most? - The handle.

- Here. On top of the mountain. - Have you tried to increase efficiency?

The problem is that Helsingborg does not understand Norwegian conditions.

With all due respect, Mr. Director. The board has never set foot in a mine.

They don't know what you and I know.

With your knowledge of local conditions and new, more effective techniques

can we make Sulitjelma the best mining company in the Nordics.

And.

Trust me, director. Together we get the money flowing in.

Next.

- There is not enough. - Konrad Nilsson.

- You have received what you are entitled to. - I am 18 and should receive adult pay.

Who the hell do you think you are?

You should be happy that you have a job. One more beep from you and you're out.

Conrad! You must return to the administration.

Excuse me. I was told to appear here. Nilsson. Konrad.

Konrad Nilsson, Sjønstå farm.

It was you who demanded a raise.

- Adult wages. - Yes.

You were absolutely right. You are entitled to adult pay.

But unfortunately we cannot afford to pay adults in the tailoring shop.

You are 18 years old and have become too expensive. That's why you're fired.

- But I have nowhere to go. - Go home to the family at Sjønstå farm.

- Out with you. - I have no family there.

What happens here?

- He has been dismissed. - Why?

We must hire professional staff.

Not local youngsters who slip away as soon as the fishing season begins.

- I'm not from here. - Are you a Swede?

Konrad Nilsson from Malmberget.

Nonsense. You are registered with residence at Sjønstå Gård.

- He is a slave child. - What does it mean?

He was sold as labor to Norway.

- How long have you worked here? - Two years in tailoring.

- Can't find a seat? - He has become too big for small jobs.

And he is too small for the big ones.

Give me a chance.

Legs?

No. With all due respect, Mr. Wenstrom. The male is the roughest mine in Sulitjelma.

I can handle Hanken very well.

Give him a place in Hanken as a miner.

- As a miner? In Hanken? - Lets see what happens.

What are you doing here?

Chairman Granberg in the tailoring department has said that I will get a place in Hanken.

- Now they have sent us a child. - I just turned 18.

I have been given a chance to show that I am suitable.

As a miner? You must have misunderstood something, kid.

You must have gone wrong.

My father was a minerarbejder at Malmberget.

I have worked as a tailor for two years. I know about ore.

In the mine, we work on piecework.

We get paid for how much ore we mine.

With you on the team, everyone gets less in Iøn.

- I don't want to slow you down. - No. Because you know about ore.

Let the boy try.

We need a man, and here stands a man. Everyone deserves a chance.

- Or what do you say, Black Bear? - Otherwise he can help me in the kitchen.

- Like a potato peeler. - Gustav, come here.

- Why do I get the dirty work? - It's not dirty work.

- Can't he do it? - You are the cleanest.

And the most beautiful.

I'll give you a week, tailor boy.

But I warn you. In Hanken there is no room for weakness.

- Good morning, Solberg. - Good morning.

- How much did they break? - As much as you broke yesterday.

- Damn no. You - You still lead big.

- You there! What was your name? - Conrad.

Keep your arm up above your head or you'll hit it.

Hold tight.

He looks terribly weak. After all, he is only a child.

Carl, take the boy with you and teach him. Axel, you go with them.

- Let someone else take him. - Now I asked you, Aksel.

Will you do it for me? Get started.

We are a people of a special kind

Far up in Sulitjelma

And the slogan ours is the damn card

We can handle that ourselves

When I nod, you strike in turn. Keep the beat when I turn. Understood?

If you want to stay here, you have to hit. Try again.

Concentrate, kid.

Harder.

Come on, Konrad. Harder!

Well!

We are a people of a special kind

Far up in Sulitjelma

And the slogan ours is the damn card

We can handle that ourselves

It will probably work. See.

Such.

Get up, dammit! We are ready!

Yes. It doesn't look promising.

We're going now, tailor boy!

Konrad. Back to work.

The chord, damn it. Remember what I said.

- Surely he must take a pee break? - Then go out and piss.

Come along.

- Swear! Isn't it the boy's? - Yeah.

I leave it to you. I want it back later.

Listen up. When you can't take it anymore, you say you're taking a pee break.

I remember so clearly when I left home

went to Sulis, where there was a job to be had

Money, we had none of that

Yes, dirty and hungry we were

Nilsson, Konrad.

Next.

Fiskum, Carl.

Take a good look at the salary, kid. Your first and last from Hanken.

- See you in the kitchen. - Yes.

And now no fuss. Tonight we're going to have fun.

I want to dance with you.

Konrad, you have to go to Rasmus. He wants to talk to you.

You must be hungry.

- No thanks. It will be all right. - I'll find something for you.

You've seen people with dirty faces before.

Konrad is nothing to be afraid of.

Where is your father?

He is no longer with us.

- Do you speak Swedish? - Do you too?

Yes. But where is your mother?

My mother is in Sweden. I also have a sister there.

I'm also having a sister soon. Or a brother.

- Anna, now it's bedtime. - No.

Don't want to go to bed yet? Now go to bed and get some rest.

- Are you happy in Sulis? - Yes.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can continue in Hanken.

Konrad... you know we've been working in the mines for many years.

We have seen people try. They can't handle it.

It's not for everyone.

But I think it's for you.

You have it in you.

Now you are one of us.

Konrad Nilsson? The management is asking for you.

Hello. What are you waiting for? Come on!

Mr. Wenstrom. It's Konrad Nilsson.

Come in. Sit down.

So you managed it in Hanken?

Thanks for the help.

You just start eating. Don't wait for me.

Thank you, Miss Johanna. That looks lovely.

Sulitjelma is a wonderful place. Do you know why?

Copper and sulphur. We are building the future of the world.

The copper we mine is used to make cables for electricity and telephony.

- What does your future look like? - I have a mother and a sister.

- I'm taking them to America. - I have lived in America.

It's very, very hard over there, but also amazing.

Everyone has a chance there. No matter where you come from.

I have seen many poor immigrants. They grind like slaves.

You need start-up capital if you want to succeed.

You should try to find a job with a higher salary. Maybe...

- No. - What?

- There is a position I want to introduce here. - What kind of position is it?

I cannot visit all the mines every day. It is impossible.

We need someone to report directly to me on the state of the mines.

A connection between the management and the workers.

- That gives half an extra salary per week. - Half a week?

I really shouldn't be doing this.

But what the hell.

The.

It's a new position that should have gone to one of the seniors, so don't say anything.

Use the kitchen entrance so no one sees you.

- Your first salary in advance. - Thank you, Mr. Wenström.

- Show me that I made the right choice. - I'll do that.

- Konrad? - Me.

I heard that.

- What? - You made it. Welcome to the team.

God damn! You should have seen yourself when you thought you were fired.

You are good, young tailor.

- Damn good. - Welcome to the team.

- Hooray for Konrad! - It's well done.

- What is it? - Come zero.

Just put it there.

Now you can pick up the rest.

Listen up.

We have to blow away all the props.

What?

And replace them with large logs.

- Blow away the props? - They contain enormous amounts of ore.

- It is the executive board's order. Get started. - Solberg, listen right here.

The mountain pressure is particularly heavy here, and the rock is porous. So it doesn't work.

Everyone knows that, Solberg.

I have been wondering how the men in Hanken can extract so much ore.

The best blaster can almost smell where we have to drill

to get the most out of it. It's as if he and the mountain belong together.

Fantastic. What does he think about us removing the pillars?

That it is too dangerous. That the mountain is too porous.

Good to know, thanks.

No, Johanna.

It is very valuable for me to know. I'll take care of it.

- Yes, it's like this. - Thanks.

I have heard that Hanken will leave the ore.

Securing with logs is risky.

The method has been tested in America in hundreds of mines. It is safe.

We are here to mine ore! There's the ore! It has to come out!

The support pills remain.

Fine.

I have a team with me that is ready to do it.

Take your men out until they are done.

Are those assholes going to earn a week's chords on our props?

Hell no!

We are the ones who set them up.

Hear zero. Unless you have to work, move.

- We do it ourselves. - Damn it, guys.

They pop the pills regardless. At least we know the mountain.

- We do it ourselves. - Thank you! I trust you guys.

Out again.

It's going well! Let's get the ore out as soon as possible.

Cautious.

One more. It is goodl.

Conrad. Come here.

Do you see that line?

When the line is broken, it means the mountain is moving. You have to speak up.

You are the youngest of us. You have good eyes and ears.

You must listen to the mountain. The mountain warns us, and then you speak.

And if something happens, know that every life is equally valuable.

I trust you.

It is nice.

At this rate, we'll get all the support pills gone within a week.

- It will be the chord of all time. - Yes, damn it.

There we have the baby boy!

We have received a gift from Wenström! Free booze.

Ladies and gentlemen, take care of yourselves. We have something to celebrate.

Helsingborg wishes you congratulations. We have increased production by 30 percent.

- It is a joint effort. Cheers to you. - Cheers.

Cheers.

It seems to be succeeding. You don't have to worry about Helsingborg for a while.

Are you not satisfied?

Have you explained the reason for the increased turnover?

Not the technical details, no.

Wenström... everyone who works in the industry knows,

that removing the ore at the support pillars quickly gives increased earnings.

But the pillars are there for a reason. And now you've blown them all away.

- How will you defend it? - Sir. Manager.

I know it's a temporary increase.

But mining becomes more efficient when we don't leave ore in the mine!

The Norwegian state issues fines of 2,000 Norwegian kroner for blowing up pills.

It cannot apply to us! After all, we are replacing them with something even better and safer.

You can say that. Nevertheless, it is prohibited according to Norwegian legislation.

Where are you going?

- Have no idea. - We just got Iøn.

And we have tomorrow off. Why do you always look so sad?

- Aren't you happy? - Yeah.

Come on! Yes, I'll teach you.

Like this. Hold it there. And around. Round!

Hallol.

Leave the baby boy alone!

Now you have to pull yourself together.

You can dare it, you devil.

There is still life in the old man!

Come here you...

Rasmus Lund, what are you doing? You're not a teenager anymore. Let me see.

Damn it, Konrad! Come on sir.

It was supposed to be a party.

Do you think this is how I want to spend my day off? Before hell...

Look at me, dammit.

As you probably know, the price of copper is falling worldwide. Demand has fallen.

Added to this is the competition from mining companies with lower costs.

The new wage for miners will not exceed 350.

- 350? - From 500 to 350 in two seconds.

I'm so sick of it...

These are hard times.

We all have to make sacrifices. For us, this means a lower salary.

With the modernization of mining

our sacrifices will soon pay off in the form of higher wages.

Higher than anywhere else.

I myself cut my own salary by 50 percent. It is more than for you.

And I will not rise in Iøn again, until we have secured the operation for the whole of Sulitjelma.

But modern mining also means that we must have an honest and close dialogue

between management and workers.

Therefore, I encourage everyone who finds it difficult to accept the new changes,

to come forward and speak for his case.

I interpret that as agreement. Good evening.

- Nordnes, Tom. - Here you go.

Next.

- Magnussen, Trygve. - Here you go.

This way.

- Hello, Pelle. - Are you coming alone?

I don't think anyone saw us. It's Konrad. A good man.

You are working with amazing riches.

Sulitjelma is the Nordic region's largest copper mine.

But the wealth is not distributed fairly.

The company owns everything here in Sulis.

The barracks you live in, the shops you shop in.

Every time you pay in their store, they take the money back.

Every time you pay rent for the wretched barracks, they take it back.

The officials...

... the engineers...

... and the director himself...

... live in warm, beautiful houses surrounded by crystal glass and porcelain.

While you are huddled together

in barracks filled with lice and toxic smoke from the smelting furnaces.

No one works harder than you. No one bears a heavier yoke than you.

And no one has less left than Jerl.

I am on Norwegian soil! I have a right to be here!

You are on private land.

Helene Ugland, you are hereby banished from Sulitjelma.

If you show up here again, I can't guarantee your safety.

It is not Norwegian legislation. It's the company's own thugs!

You can't just take her.

It is not legal.

Miner Pelle Marklund, you are terminated with immediate effect.

Because he doesn't agree with you?

He must leave the company's premises within 24 hours.

Tom!

Listen... who's been gossiping?

- Have no idea. But we'll probably find him. - And kill him!

Boys! That bloody Wenström forced us to blow away all the props.

Now he lowers our salary.

And when we try to organize, he beats our people.

Good day, Peter.

We can't put up with it anymore. We must make sure we are heard.

The time has come to strike.

- Yes! - We are on strike.

- Strike is madness, and you know it. - Not if we stand together.

We can stand together all we want. The company owns it all.

- Who built the mining operation? - We have that!

- Without us, they are nothing. - Nice, but empty words.

- Are we ready to strike? - Yes!

I ask the rest of you to do the same. Do you want a few minutes?

There is no doubt. Giken is for strike.

Charlotte, we're on strike!

- Jakobsbakken is against it. - Sandnes is also against it.

- Fagerli is against it. - Furulund is against it.

Then it's settled. Everyone has voted. The majority won. You must respect that.

Come, let's go.

Rasmus. This is not going to work. We must stand together or he will break us.

Three mines is enough, right?

To throw the impostor out of Sulis once and for all.

If Wenström can find someone in Sulis who dares to take our job,

must we stop them at the mine entrance. Anyone have anything to say?

I have a claim.

Johanna took that pig from me. I work day and night to keep up.

I want her back.

It doesn't work.

Johanna? You can be our eyes and ears in the executive board.

Go there now! There is no time to waste.

Good, guys.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Now we have to stand shoulder to shoulder just like in the mine,

because tomorrow we take the fucking Swede...

Why are you running in and out of Wenström?

He ensured that I got a job in Hanken.

- That was nice of him. - What?

- That was nice of him. - Yes.

And... he takes care of me because I have no family.

Don't you have any family?

- Do you have? - My family lives on an island in the sea.

What did she mean by Wenström taking you from her?

I was Sorte Bjørn's kitchen assistant before Wenström hired me.

- I thought you belonged to the management. - I don't belong to anyone.

Good night, Konrad Nilsson. Thanks for the company.

And good luck with the strike tomorrow.

Konrad Nilsson? Pay attention.

I said stay tuned.

The Hanken people will crush everything we are building together.

With a strike.

Who is in the front?

Now it's serious, Nilsson.

There is more at stake than your ticket to America.

Who?

- Rasmus. - Miner Rasmus Lund?

When does the strike start?

Think bigger, Konrad.

- Tomorrow morning. - But not all mines go on strike, do they?

Who leads those who oppose?

- Per Melien. - Per Melien in Jakobsbakken?

- Per Melien! - And?

Set the work!

- What? Why? - You heard what I said.

- Stop work. - Guys! Take a break!

Why?

Sulitjelma's mines are closed. No wages are paid.

- Shall we work without... - What the hell are you talking about?

Hanken, Charlotta and Giken are on strike.

Damn Hank! We voted on it. We are against strike. The majority has spoken.

I regret. None of us can do anything about what is happening now.

I know many of you have families that will starve,

and I understand if your anger is directed at me and the company.

But there is nothing I can do. I may not pay Iøn during a strike.

- We must have food then . - Calm down. Take it easy.

Wenstrom! Wenström, for fans!

Good, Pearl. You join the strike.

- Wenström has shut down all mines. - What do you say?

They have closed everything. We both have families, Rasmus.

- Why do you think we are on strike? - Nobody gets food on the table.

- We need our Iøn! - Don't you understand what he's doing?

If we don't stop him, he'll kill us.

You can't beat Wenström. Use your head, dammit.

- Call off the strike now. - You are some damned cowards.

- I'm no coward! - Come on!

- Axle! stop - It's your fault, Rasmus!

Look what you've done!

Racmusl.

- Put that knife away! - Axle!

Beat him, Per!

Stop!

Gustav! Get up!

Are you okay?

The reason for the bloodshed here today is the megalomania of certain people.

The board of directors in Helsingborg has announced that the investors have withdrawn.

All operations in Sulitjelma will end forever...

... if the strike continues.

Many of us have families to support.

It is not just your livelihood that is at stake. It's everyone's.

May I ask Charlotta, Giken and Hanken to confirm that you are calling off the strike?

- Charlotta calls off the strike. - Well.

Put an end to it! Our families need food.

Giken calls off the strike.

Now it's up to you, Rasmus Lund.

Do you want to be the man, there closed Sulitjelma?

Think carefully.

Hanken returns to work.

Thanks for coming to your senses.

Yes. Back to work, boys.

What the hell? Do you know him?

Come on!

- Jakobsbakken! - Gone! Come on.

It was him, Arne Bakken.

It was him, Helene Ugland indicated.

- Then he got what he deserved. - That's how it goes.

- I know what we do. - What?

- I can't say that yet. - Why not?

Wenström knew about the strike before it began.

Before hell...

What the hell?

Then one of us must have spoken.

Who has let the mouth run? What?

Nils, sit down. I'll take care of it.

Then say it, dammit.

You will be notified when everything is in place. Carl, I need to talk to you.

"When everything is in place." What does he mean by that?

"When everything is in place"?

- He knows what he's doing. - I'm not so sure about that.

Before hell...

You wait here.

Konrad?

How do you think Wenström knew about the strike?

It happens that some, especially the young, are lured with false promises and money.

Confidence. It's about trust, Konrad.

And Wenström has confidence in you.

- Yes. - That's good, Konrad.

Then I can send you out on a mission that I expect you to carry out.

And.

- Sjønstå farm. You know that one, right? - I worked there for six years.

So you can go there and back again without being detected?

- Konrad? - Me.

I trust you.

Rasmus?

There must be another way to do it.

- Are you for or against? - I support your proposal.

Yes or no?

And.

- We must gather all the managers of the mines. - Good, then we agree.

We get Helene Ugland back. I have a man to fix it.

At that big meeting, all mine managers must stand together.

Konrad.

- See you at Sjønstå farm. - Yes.

Racmusl.

Racmusl.

- The line is broken! - The mountain is moving!

- Out! It crashes! - Come on sole. Out!

Nils, come on.

All men out All men out!

Where the wild current washes down towards the fjord

I sing my faldera while the chisel hammers...

This is Konrad! Here he is.

- Report. - Every man is here.

Where is Gustav?

- Damn it! Gustav! - Gustav!

- You stay here. - Wait, Rasmusl.

- Gustavl . - Yes?

Racmusl. Gustav is here!

Racmusl.

Where have you been? Rasmus ran in after you!

Gustav!

Goddamn!

Help!

Help!

The thought of her waiting at home

singing you slowly to rest

The days speak in the tongues of dreams

When the night comes

flashing stars for the two of us

With peace of mind death takes your hand

grabs your heart, your soul and your spirit

And when you're gone, we'll take you with us

The living memories

of all that we saw

Her.

- What is it? - Money.

Salary for Kristine. You need help here, don't you?

- Yeah. - Then let her come here and work.

Christine? Do you want to work with me?

- What do you mean? - I need help in the kitchen.

You can stay in our barracks.

Darkness falls

My thoughts are in my mother's safe embrace

when it storms.

Here I want to sleep.

Incompetent idiots.

It's your fault! What the hell happened to the good timber?

- You're fired. Get out of here. - You can't blame Solberg.

I'll fix it. I have to personally inspect each and every beam.

You're not going to mess around here!

- Away! Move! - Yes.

- Back! Away, said the jackal. - Relax.

Back!

Back!

- Get them out of here! - Wenstrom!

Come and take Corneliussen with you!

- Get them out! - You damn snake!

- Now you have to get! - I will kill you.

Come on! Go on.

We have to talk to Corneliussen. We must gather the people.

- We have to get rid of Wenström. If he continues... - Then we'll kill him!

I don't talk to them. Not unless I can meet their demands.

God damn!

It was a faulty construction. The timber will last.

- The problems in Hanken have been solved. - No, Wenström! The problems are not solved.

The mines are not safe. And I am responsible for security.

I see no alternative but to resign my position.

The news of Corneliussen's resignation has not gone down well.

I have heard that the Hanken people will turn all the mines against you.

- Increase security in all mines. - Unfortunately I can not.

I only have seven men available, Wenström.

You get all the manpower you need.

Close it up.

Come now.

You must no longer be an informant.

From now on, there will be an officer in each barrack.

You must be our man in barrack 3.

You get police authority. No one can attack you.

No, Johanna.

Try it.

I can not.

Can you not?

I cannot accept it.

- Are you taking the piss out of me? - I don't want to wear the uniform.

It's not for me.

I understand.

Naturally.

I meet the demands of the workers.

But on one condition: They must stop agitating.

- They must have an open dialogue with the management. - This is exactly what we want.

In that case, you have my word.

Thank you for the cooperation.

You're welcome.

You get an extra bonus with your next salary.

Then you have your ticket to America.

Konrad!

- I heard it. - What?

Come on.

- What did you hear? - That he agrees to the demands.

- How did you get him to change his mind? - He had no other choice.

- We must tell Hanken. - I'll probably say it.

- Fine. - Listen, Johanna...

I...

I just wanted to say that I... I...

Johanna, you...

Why do we have to hold a general meeting? It will only provoke even more.

We must restore safety in the mines.

- During the service on Sunday? - Yes. While the fine people pray to God.

The only thing that has changed since the strike is that Rasmus is dead.

It doesn't help! You won't be able to collect them all!

Yes, Peter. It's different this time.

Oh really?

We picked up an agitator a while ago, but she didn't finish.

- Helene Ugland? - Yes.

- They chased her away. - Look here.

She is at Sjønstå farm. You can just pick her up.

If this is true...

- Then we're in. - We can call off the meeting.

- Wenström meets our demands. - How do you know?

- Our eyes and ears in the executive board. - Can we trust it?

- And, you know. - Johanna, and.

You? You said you had no family.

I have a mother and a little sister.

They need me.

So are you going to travel?

And.

I would like to have you with me.

Will you marry me?

You mustn't joke with that sort of thing.

It's no joke.

I know it can be difficult. That these men can seem provocative.

You only intervene if they attack. Understood?

- Yes! - Mr. Bang.

- Came. There is fresh coffee in the kitchen. - I would like a cup then.

- You are busy. Is something big happening? - Yes, we must change the contracts.

Adjust the salaries now that the teams are changed.

- So there are changes in...? - The handle.

There is a risk that they will resist.

- You know Hanken. - Yes Yes...

- What are you doing up here? - We have to take over Hanken.

- What is it? - Management's new security measure.

- What the hell does that mean? - It is very simple.

If the mark hangs there, you are not in the mine. If the mark doesn't hang there, you're in the mine.

Is that all management is doing for safety, Granberg?

Yes, mate. That is all.

It has nothing to do with security.

What's going on, Konrad? Granberg calls it security.

- That is why there was no meeting. - Wenström promised to meet the demands.

- Yes. - Well.

- Is this the security? - Yes, that's right.

- That was not the agreement. - That's how it will be.

It's nothing but a fucking slave tag.

- Before the hell. - Slave trader.

It is sad that you cannot contribute constructively to a good workplace.

You want to get an agitator to turn Sulitjelma against me.

- Who the hell has been gossiping? - We will find out.

Of course, that cannot be tolerated. You don't sabotage your own workplace.

Therefore, I have to dismiss you all.

You devil.

Fall down, Konrad Nilsson.

We agreed that this big meeting does not benefit Sulitjelma's future.

You liar

You got money for a ticket to America because you understood

how important it is that management knows what is going on.

- Was it Konrad? - What does this mean, Konrad?

What?

Get up!

Stop!

- Let go of me! - Move!

Konrad!

Konrad!

- Before hell! - Conrad!

Konrad!

- What happens? - It's cursed Wenström again.

- What now? - You must leave barrack 3 immediately.

- The new work team moves in. - We're not going anywhere.

What is that? Do those people live here?

- Kristine and Anna live here. - Yes. They have to go out too.

- Kristine helps me. - Those are the rules. Do you house them?

- Yes. - Then you are dismissed as a cook.

- Why? - Illegal accommodation by unauthorized persons.

- They have more right to be here than you. - Not according to the rules.

You and your damn rules!

You satan. You immoral, wretched scum.

In with jerl. In!

- Come on. - Yes Yes!

Tomorrow, after the service, you will be sent off by train.

Until then, you stay here.

Any attempt to resist arrest will have consequences.

Understood?

Where is Konrad?

Konrad?

Conrad! Now wake up!

Carl?

- Why did you do that? We trusted you! - It was not me.

- Who the hell was that? - I don't know that.

We can still hold the meeting.

That was what Rasmus wanted.

You have to gather the people.

- I can get Helene Ugland to Sulis. - Impossible.

- Wenström has guards everywhere. - No one is looking for me anymore.

Everyone thinks I'm dead.

What are you doing here?

- I've been fired. - Why?

Lewd behavior.

Carl Fiskum?

Reach? How are things going in the mines? Is the new base up and running?

He knows what to do.

And the boy? Konrad Nilsson.

He is no longer with us.

Did you really go that far?

Come on!

- What the hell are you staring at? - What are you doing?

I didn't recognize you. Helen? Now he is here.

What happened to your face? Was it the police?

And.

- Where will the meeting take place? - In the mine, while the nice people are in church.

How will you manage it?

- We go over the mountain. - How long will it take?

Three hours if you know how to use them here.

- Konrad? - I must have a sled and reindeer skins.

Yes. Take what you want.

It does not cost anything.

Where I come from...

... you pay yourself.

Keep watch. I'll be back after the service.

It is locked.

Are you okay, Anna? So here we are.

- Axle. - Have you made up your mind?

Good to see you.

- How did it go? - The police are far up on the mountain.

- Has she come? - No. I shouldn't have said yes.

Carl? Where the hell is she going?

- You and your talk! It does not work. - Relax.

No! Now we do as I say.

We've been here for 40 minutes.

Where is she? The service is almost over, and so is the meeting.

- She comes! - I can't hold them much longer.

It is a waste of time. The service is over. Let's go back.

- Come on, Hanken. We walk! - Dear comrades!

Here we stand. Here we meet.

Here we meet.

In hiding and in secret.

Under threats of punishment and law.

While those upstairs are sitting in their beautiful salons

and eagerly discuss how they can squeeze more out of the mountain and out of the people.

I have come to Sulitjelma to give him a simple message.

You are not alone.

A new era is coming.

In every alley, in every town in this country

in Finland, Denmark, in Sweden and the whole Nordic region brave people gather!

They have a common dream of a better future. It gives us strength.

We need it, you need it, and the community more than ever.

The whole Nordic region is now looking at Sulis.

What would you do?

Bend your neck?

Stand and watch without lifting a finger?

- No! - We are on strike.

Back off. I said back off.

What the hell are you doing, Gustav?

Everything is under control here.

What kind of people have brought you here?

The Hanken bands.

- They are murderers. - We're not murderous.

They have killed the miner Konrad Nilsson.

Murderers who will now be handed over to the authorities to be punished.

Olof Wenström!

You're a damn liar.

Are you lying to our faces?

I stood behind you. But it's over now. It is over!

You damn well don't shoot in here.

- Calm down! - The heathen. Shoot him!

Shoot him!

Damn traitor.

Look at me!

You are nothing, you come from nothing, and you will always be nothing.

- We have to get them out! - Follow me!

- Including - Wait!

Not there! We must find another way.

- I can not walk. - Help him, dammit!

We have to get out of here! We must include everyone!

Come on!

Follow the song.

Follow the song!

Let me come by! Move!

We must turn around! The bridge is broken, we're locked in!

Follow the song. I am coming after you!

Follow the song!

Come here!

- Konrad... - Follow the song. It's the only way out.

- Anna, stay close to me! - Follow the song

Here we can be. We are safe here.

Lindstrøm, sing! We still need people.

And when the blood is dry after the party...

What the hell?

Axle. Nils.

Let them pass.

I just want out.

Well.

- Damn it! Should we just let them go? - Axle.

Now is not the time to kill. We'll stay here until everyone is on board.

Lindstrøm, sing!

Help... Help me.

Gustav, help me.

- Gustav! - No no! You must not hit.

Gustav, we leave no one behind!

- Follow the song. Out! - No no! Wait!

- He stayed in there. - No, he would come immediately.

Johannal. Stop!

- Wait! - It's my fault.

I was the one gossiping.

Johanna... the boy is dead.

Konrad?

All men are here.

Nobody died.

Dear mother. I am writing to you with joy in my heart.

For a new era is coming.

For the first time, all the workers in Sulis must unite

to build a place where our families can live safely and freely.

So this summer I will come and pick you up here.

But I will not come alone.

I have found a fantastic woman with whom I want to share my life.

Take good care of yourself and my dear sister.

Until we meet again.

On 13 January 1907, 1,300 workers gathered on the Langvannsisen.

It was the only area the mining company did not own.

Here they founded their trade union and became affiliated with the Norwegian Workers' Union.

The events in Sulitjelma inspired workers and employers

to reach an agreement on the main agreement of 1935.

The basis for the Nordic welfare model had been created.

Sulitjelma developed into one of Norway's largest workplaces.

It became a safe place for the workers and their families.

We are the women and men of the factory

we are the many from the farm and from the alley

We break the ground with hoe and plough

we swing the ax and chop in the forest

We are the thousands who build the country

it became dear to us in today's match

We carried it forward in need and poverty

now we build the new time

Listen to the sound of the wheel bearings going

Listen to the jubilant song of unity

Listen, Norway! Hear the redemptive words:

Work and prosperity for everyone on earth
