Petrina, a girl from Oslo's [Grønland](/source/Gr%C3%B8nland%2C_Oslo) neighborhood, flirts with Julius and tricks him into stealing from the factory, which causes him to be fired. A year passes, and Julius has left Milja for Petrina. Milja has had a child and during the day, when she works, she leaves the child with Hønse-Lovisa. A doctor, who has been sent out by rich people to find children to adopt, persuades Milja to give away her child. After she has given her child up, she realizes what she has done and becomes desperate. However, Hønse-Lovisa does not think it was a wise decision to give up the child and has therefore kept the child with her. When Milja returns after a night of dancing, she finds the child at home. ==Cast== * [Eva Sletto](/source/Eva_Sletto) as Milja * [Harald Heide Steen](/source/Harald_Heide_Steen) as Julius * [Ragnhild Hald](/source/Ragnhild_Hald) as Hønse-Lovisa * [Tove Bryn](/source/Tove_Bryn) as Petrina * [Astrid Sommer](/source/Astrid_Sommer) as Krestena * [Agnethe Schibsted-Hansson](/source/Agnethe_Schibsted-Hansson) as Gurina * [Hans Bille](/source/Hans_Bille) as the doctor * [Hauk Aabel](/source/Hauk_Aabel) as Krestoffer * [Martin Gisti](/source/Martin_Gisti) as Engebret * [Liv Uchermann Selmer](/source/Liv_Uchermann_Selmer) as Lagreta, Julius's mother * [Signe Ramberg](/source/Signe_Ramberg) as Olina * Maj Nielsen-Sæther as Sergeant Petra * Ellinor Borg as a patient in the waiting room * Ellen Bugge as a patient in the waiting room * [Bjarne Bø](/source/Bjarne_B%C3%B8) as a patient in the waiting room * [Helge Essmar](/source/Helge_Essmar) as Olaf * [Marie Hedemark](/source/Marie_Hedemark) as a working woman * [Joachim Holst-Jensen](/source/Joachim_Holst-Jensen) as a waiter * Ole Leikvang as a patient in the waiting room * [Kirsten Monrad-Aas](/source/Kirsten_Monrad-Aas) as a woman from the [West End](/source/East_End_and_West_End_of_Oslo) * [Pehr Qværnstrøm](/source/Pehr_Qv%C3%A6rnstr%C3%B8m) as a restaurateur * [Guri Stormoen](/source/Guri_Stormoen) as a patient in the waiting room * Jan Vaage as a patient in the waiting room * [Kåre Wicklund](/source/K%C3%A5re_Wicklund)as Elias * [Alfred Helgeby](/source/Alfred_Helgeby) as the milkman * Sonja Marie Bakkely as the child ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== * {{IMDb title|0030912}} * [https://www.nb.no/filmografi/show?id=791623 ''Ungen''] at the [National Library of Norway](/source/National_Library_of_Norway) Category:Norwegian drama films Category:Norwegian films based on plays Category:Norwegian black-and-white films Category:1930s Norwegian-language films Category:1938 drama films Category:1938 films Category:Films directed by Rasmus Breistein Category:Norwegian-language drama films --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Ungen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungen) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungen?action=history)).
