"The Reksten case is known as the biggest economic crime case in Norwegian history. From celebrity status as one of the richest men in the world, the Bergen shipping magnate Hilmar Reksten was accused of economic crime of the worst kind. While the Norwegian state lost billions because the Reksten shipping houses were unable to pay, the bankruptcy estate claimed that there could be as much as a billion Norwegian kroner hidden in secret trusts abroad.
The case against Hilmar Reksten was among the most written-about in the press and media from the middle of the 1970es until the end in 1990.
Every eye was on the court in Bergen, but did the Bergeners have a sense of justice of their own? Was there, between the mountains, a wish that the city's great son shouldn't be sentenced, even though he had swindled Norway?
Yngve Sundvor has examined the hours before the sentence was to be given. In a dark and absurd universe, we meet a Bergen family who has enjoyed knowing Reksten. During the night, the pressure on the shipping magnate's trusted workers increases, and at the end, it is impossible to know who is a friend and who is an enemy."
