Title: Vigeland's Folk
A number of timber-framed houses in a village with a church and spire changes to a woman in traditional clothing sitting on the steps of a house knitting. Beside her, a tour guide, also in a traditional outfit, takes a group of visitors inside a large timber-framed house. Light pours through a large window onto long tables, flowers are set up in the window. Outside again with views of more timber-framed buildings and a lake below through trees.
A number of sailing vessels are moored near a quayside on which sits a large ship's anchor. The crew goes about their business on board the three-masted sailing ship Christian Radish moored nearby, two sit close by smoking. Visitors wander along the quayside looking at the ships, nearby traffic on a busy road passes a large brick building.
Sculptures by Gustav Vigeland surround a fountain inside Frogner Park, visitors wander around the site looking at his many works made of granite and bronze the central piece being The Monolith built in the centre of the park.
The film ends on a rural scene seen previously of a lake below with small islands and red berries growing on a bush.
