As a young man, Martin married the daughter of the farm, removed his grandfather from the board of directors, and, with his energy and willingness to work, turned the farm around so that it is now the largest and best-maintained farm in the entire region. No one likes being around Martin. Ruthlessness and stubbornness are fundamental elements of his character. He cannot tolerate anyone else around him. His grandfather and wife have long since resigned themselves to the situation, but now something must be done.

This film is based on a true story, depicted in the novel of the same name, "Der kom en dag" (The Day Came), written by Flemming B. Muus. Quote: On April 9, 1940, we surrendered, under protest, to an army that broke all treaties, attacked our borders, occupied our country, and seized all executive power. But soon, the will to resist was born. Groups of people came together in a common desire to help win the war and liberate our country.
