Vidkun Quisling, Prime Minister of Norway, asked Hitler to invade Norway in 1940. His action is considered one of the greatest betrayals of the Second World War, and Quisling's name was forever synonymous with "collaborator" in dictionaries. Five years later, Norway is liberated and Quisling is put on trial for war crimes. The film recounts his last days and his conversations with the priest, in which his psychology and the value conflict between lies and the truth unfold.
