Oslo was a small town idyll, until it became a modern and busy metropolitan city in early 1950s. Many pictures from the old and new Oslo Center are shown.
The forest areas of Vestmarka and Krokskogen lie outside Oslo. In the 19th century, storyteller Peter Christen Asbjørnsen walked in the areas. The story of the area is being told, and the life in the "fairytale forest" of the 1950s, with forestry and outdoor life, is being shown.
