'Martin' (The Execution) is a Norwegian drama film from 1981 directed by Leidulv Risan. The screenplay was written by Anne Gullbjrg Digranes, and Bjrn Skagestad starred in the title role.

Plot



Beneath the surface of a small Norwegian town in Western Norway hide completely different forces than peace and tolerance. It all starts with the teacher Martin being accused of being gay. The gossip spreads and also affects his cohabiting friends Kjersti and Sara. In the public eye, these three people are deviants that threaten the image of reality. In the municipal administration, two corrupt officials use the gossip to hide their own dishonesty. Martin is broken by suspicion and direct terror over the course of a few spring days.
