Portrettet

The film revolves around Per Haug, a temporary worker and bachelor who finds himself at the center of political conflict in his town. After a heated city council meeting, he channels his frustration into painting a portrait of the Mayor, Abrahamsen. This act of expression sets off a series of events that highlight the humorous and dramatic elements of local politics.

With a cast that includes notable actors such as Per Aabel, Wenche Foss, and Nanna Stenersen, Portrettet combines comedy with social commentary.
