In Reply to: It truly is a wonderful film, so understated and clever. I especially posted by tinear on March 11, 2007 at 04:14:03:

The observer was Swedish, the host Norwegian. Norway was occupied by Germany and was basically its ally (albeit a reluctant one), Sweden remained neutral. However, to be fair to both, their respected status was not as much result of their own actions, but more of the German decision. Hitler invaded Norway, planned to invade Sweden, but never gotten to it.

I thought that history played only a very minor role in the film though. The focal point was of course the people, and the two main actors did remarkably well.
