What happens

At the Edge of the World (German: Am Rande der Welt) is a 1927 German silent drama film directed by Karl Grune and starring Albert Steinrück, William Dieterle and Brigitte Helm. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin. Robert Neppach oversaw the film's art direction and designed the sets. The film was so heavily cut by the management of UFA that Grune tried to have his name removed from the credits and publicly criticized them in an open letter. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
