Kranes konditori (English: "Krane's Café") is a 1951 Norwegian drama film from 1951 written and directed by Astrid Henning-Jensen,[2][3][4] based on Cora Sandel's 1945-46 serialized novel.[5][6]
The film takes place in a small Norwegian coastal town and follows the life of Katinka Stordal (Rønnaug Alten). The film depicts her loneliness and longing for love. The only man she has ever loved has left her without saying goodbye. From her children she receives neither tenderness nor kindness—only hard, cold demands. Katinka fights to keep her family together. One day she meets the Swedish sailor Stivhatten (Erik Hell) at Krane's Café. Their meeting fuels gossip in the sleepy town, and Katinka's behavior arouses outrage among many: is she thinking of leaving her home and children?[7]
