Norsk filminstitutt

A group of 'guerilla' women decides to wear the traditional Norwegian bunad to protest the shutdown of delivery rooms at hospitals in rural Norway, starting in Kristiansund on the very northwest coast. They get little response from the authorities - even though almost 400 children in one the wealthiest countries in the world are born on the road every year- due to long traveling distances to hospitals.
