Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })We leave for England (Englandsfarere), is a Norwegian feature film made in 1946, based on a novel with the same name by author Sigurd Evensmo.The story takes place during World War II, and relates the recovered diary of resistance man Harald Silju, who was forced into hiding, tried to escape to England, and was arrested by the Gestapo. Harald, an ordinary guy, was pretty passive, regarding both the occupation of Norway and the resistance, until a Heel Realisation following the execution of the labour leaders Hansteen and Wickstrøm in 1941. After this, he joined the resistance, and soon became a target. Harald had to go into hiding during the round-up during the winter of 1942, and it was arranged for him to escape to England (hence the title). With him came a number of other men, but one of them was not to be trusted (only referred to as "number five" or "the fifth man"). This man gave up the others, and the lot of them was arrested, left in a camp for several months, before they eventually got executed. The life in prison is described, the different men, their hopes, their life stories - one of them fighting with the international Brigades during the Spanish Civil War, another man fighting for Franco. The end of the movie shows the lot of prisoners being herded out for execution.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Arc Symbol | |
| We Leave for England / int_11e0d645 | comment |
Arc Symbol: The birch at the end of the movie. Symbolizing hope, spring, new beginnings, and is connected to the celebration of Norwegian independence (birches sprout almost to the day of May 17). | |

Astronomic Zoom | |
| We Leave for England / int_1c7bed9f | comment |
Astronomic Zoom: A rare early example (almost an Unbuilt Trope, because it predates any satellite or spacecraft), using the spinning planet as a background for the credit roll at the start of the film. When the credits end, the camera pans inwards while the spinning grinds to a halt, and stops to reveal the map of occupied Norway under a Swastika symbol. From then, cue the Spinning Paper sequence. the opening can be seen here. Norwegian film could be that innovative. | |

Bystander Syndrome | |
| We Leave for England / int_c83f40d8 | comment |
Bystander Syndrome: Harald at the start of the war. He is adamant on the "not choosing sides" argument, and is justly being called out on it, because it is pointed out to him that you have to choose. | |
