Journey to the Sea (Norwegian: Reisen til havet) is a Norwegian drama film from 1966 directed by Arne Skouen, who was also the screenwriter.[1][2][3] Skouen's daughter Synne Skouen played Pinne, a teenage girl wanted by the authorities.[4]
Plot
The truck driver Hilmar offers fifteen-year-old Pinne a ride. The girl, who seems frightened and withdrawn, does not say much other than that she wants to go to the sea. At a gas station, Hilmar learns from the radio that Pinne is wanted. She has escaped from the school where she was placed. Hilmar faces a dilemma: whether to call the sheriff or not.[5]
