Unge viljer (Young Wills) is a Norwegian film from 1943 written and directed by Walter Fyrst.[1] It is about an upper-class girl and a working-class boy that join forces and become members of Nasjonal Samling (NS), Vidkun Quisling's far-right political party before and during World War II.[2] Unge viljer is a "state political" propaganda film that purports to depict the difficult social conditions in Norway in the 1930s that led to the formation of the NS in 1933.[3] This is the only Norwegian film produced during the war with a Nasjonal Samling ideology. The film premiered at the Victoria Cinema in Oslo on February 8, 1943.
