Plot
When captain Curt Åhs comes home one day, he discovers that his wife has been unfaithful. Curt gets to know the flight attendant Berit. They experience adventure together during a flight to Rio de Janeiro.
Background and reception
The film had its Norwegian premiere on November 17, 1949 and was about Scandinavian Airlines' long-haul flights on the new route to South America. The film included an authentic crash scene, which was originally shown in the Swedish film Ungdom av idag (Youth of Today). The critics gave the film mixed reviews. On the one hand, they one praised the actors but, on the other hand, they considered the story to sometimes be hackneyed and lacking depth.
