What happens

Fager er lien (Fair Is the Hillside) is a Norwegian romantic silent film from 1925 directed by Harry Ivarson (his second feature film after his debut with Til sæters in 1924). Ivarson also wrote the screenplay. The film belongs to the national romantic period of the 1920s. The title is a reference to the thirteenth-century Njáls saga. Before the film was released, six meters of footage showing dancing were edited out. The film is now considered lost. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
